Celebrities, administrators and school district graduates introduced the Benton Harbor Promise Zone to graduating seniors from Benton Harbor Area Schools, Countryside Academy and the Dream Academy at a morning rally last week at Benton Harbor High School. The 2011 class will be the first to take advantage of the Promise Zone, established in April 2009. The program will allow each student to attend two years of community college tuition-free. Ernie Hudson, a Wayne State University graduate, actor and Benton Harbor graduate, urged the students to take advantage of the program. Hudson played Winston Zeddemore in the \"Ghostbusters\" movies and had roles in \"Oz,\" \"Law & Order\" and \"Desperate Housewives.
