#OurLivesMatter: College Bound Brothers Speak
In the wake of the Trayvon Martin tragedy, much has been said about and to young Black men. We thought it was time to hear from young men themselves.
"Our Lives Matter: College Bound Brothers Speak" is a video series featuring young men from the College Bound Brotherhood. They talk about the challenges they face growing up in America and trying to reach their college aspirations. They speak candidly about what they would like to see in their schools and communities to help more young Black men follow in their footsteps to college. They also share calls to action for themselves and our nation's leaders.
Join the conversation at #OurLivesMatter. See the full series here on our YouTube channel.
