, an initiative by 51精品视频 and Duquesne University students, was recently named one of 30 winning Changemaker Competition projects.
The initiative is the brainchild of聽聽students Terrell Galloway, Isreal Williams, Sean Spencer and a Duquesne University journalism and web design student.
The team鈥檚 goal is to address the crippling psychological effects on black men that stem from a history of slavery, Jim Crow-era laws and mass incarceration. They believe that by mentoring young, black, male-identifying students, they can stop the cycle by encouraging them and showing that they are capable of great success.聽The team will receive a trip to the Changemaker Lab at the T-Mobile Headquarters in Seattle for a two-day workshop in February 2020, where they will receive mentorship, seed funding, training and support to make their ideas a reality.
