Help Build a Coalition: In November a group of 50 African-American men gathered at the Science Museum of Minnesota to talk about our important role in the lives of children age birth–5.

It was a powerful conversation. We shared the stories of the personal, social and historical experiences that have shaped our lives as African-American men. We heard how passionate men are about nurturing the young children in their lives and learned how we can support each other.

Come on January 10 to hear about the November conversations:
SHARE YOUR WISDOM LEARN FROM EACH OTHER TAKE ACTION!

Organized by African-American Men’s Steering Committee:
Chris Crutchfield, Dave Ellis, Metric M. Giles, Clarence Jones, Andre Koen, Myron Lowe
William Moore, Michael Palmer, Damon Shoholm, Sam Simmons, Sean Tolefree, Clarence White
