Black Communities Across America Take Control of Black Male Achievement!
Accra, Ghana; Vancouver, Canada; and 256 American Cities Are Developing An Army of Black Males for Success, Survival and Global Competency with a Strong Black Male Achievement Curriculum!
Young Black men all over the world are the most despised, stereotyped, disregarded, overly-policed and feared people on the planet; more likely to be poor, more likely to be undereducated, more likely to be unemployed, more likely to live without their fathers, more likely to be discriminated against, more likely to suffer from mental illness, more likely to be locked up in prisons, and more likely to be murdered than anyone else in the world.
You can help change this! Will your elementary school, high school, college, church, fraternity, community organization, youth organization, sports team, street organization (gang), men's organization, youth detainment facility or any other organization that has control of the minds of young Black men and boys participate in a year of Black male development for young Black men with mentoring, educational development, counseling, fathering and family development, spiritual development, and career exposure during 2015? We will send you everything that you need for a successful year.
Ask your mayor, your school leader, your pastor or community leader to call 773.285.9600 to join this effort or click here to register.
