Before working with children in his home, Richardson, his friend, Kenny Dickerson, and his brother, Harold Richardson, ran a program in the 1980s at a facility called Moses House. While that building has closed, the mission of the organization is still strong, and Richardson continues to teach art to children under its auspices.

The children that Richardson works with live mostly in Belmont Heights Estates or in families that were displaced by that project from the College Hill and Ponce de Leon housing projects. The Moses House group hopes to make children aware of their own potential through art and other learning opportunities. The long-term goals are to help the African American community gain economic independence and reach an understanding of its cultural heritage.

Because they are so creative, according to Richardson, it only figures that children can easily relate to his art and art making. Although he has nine (grown) children of his own, he extends his attention to any child who enters into his space. He guides them with a gentle message and words of encouragement.
