Dear MBK Community Leaders, Partners, and Friends, Mark your calendars! The My Brother’s Keeper Alliance and the Campaign for Black Male Achievement are pleased to announce an online town hall on July 25th at 1:00 p.m. EDT with our friend, renowned thought leader, and passionate advocate for education reform, Geoffrey Canada.    If you could ask Geoffrey one question about improving the lives of boys and young men of color, what would you ask? You can register to join the town hall and submit your question here.   Geoffrey Canada currently serves as President of the Harlem Children’s Zone and Chairman of Promise Academy. From 1990 to 2014, Geoffrey served as the President and Chief Executive Officer for the Harlem Children’s Zone, which The New York Times called “one of the most ambitious social-policy experiments of our time.” In 2011, he was named to the TIME 100 list of the most influential people in the world and, in March 2014, was named one of Fortune’s 50 greatest leaders in the world. Following the format of previous MBK Alliance town halls, Geoffrey will be interviewed by two dynamic young men of color; Senegal Mabry, Member, MBK Alliance Advisory Council and David Armah, President, Saunders Trades and Technical High School, MBK Yonkers. The MBK Alliance Team will also join to give a brief update on upcoming opportunities. Don’t miss your chance to submit a question for Geoffrey Canada. If you submit your question before Friday, July 19th, it may be asked on air during the town hall. To register for the conference and submit your question, click here. All the best, Michael and Shawn Michael D.
