A three-time Emmy award winning actor and producer who has starred in Broadway productions will host an anti-bias program at Point Pleasant Borough High School next week.
In partnership with the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, Anthony J. Wilkinson will host “It Gets Better,” a program focused on anti-bullying and harassment.
Wilkinson will be speaking about his life growing up in Staten Island and being the victim of bullying and harassment by classmates and peers. Mr. Wilkinson will share his experiences and his journey from being bullied to realizing his own self-worth.
