Description
African American men’s history of their journey has strong correlations with the term-damaged goods. Throughout the years, African American men have played an essential part in the growth of America. In 2020, the Black Lives Matter Movement, police shootings, and COVID-19 have created the perfect storm for highlighting the systemic racism that has plagued African American men for centuries. The fight for freedom, rights, and education have been at the forefront of the economic power struggles from elite establishments that control the narrative, or often the trajectory, of Black men’s personal growth within American society. This session will discuss the non-cognitive factors that have hindered first-generation African American males from reaching their full potential academically and financially.
