On Thursday, February 27, 2014, President Barack Obama took a bold new step by using his authority in this nation’s executive office to announce “a new initiative with leading foundations and businesses that will take a collaborative, multi-disciplinary approach to build ladders of opportunity and unlock the full potential of boys and young men of color.” To the women who have dedicated their careers to closing the opportunity and education gap on Black male achievement and the men working in the field of gender violence prevention and Black male emotional enrichment, My Brother’s Keeper is more than a groundbreaking announcement.
On March 23, 2014 at 6:30 p.m. Eastern/3:30 p.m. Pacific via Google+ Hangouts On Air, you will have the opportunity to meet the activists, filmmakers and content creators who have dedicated years in the area of Black Male Achievement and are continuing to raise the bar for others joining the President’s call.
