What problem would you like to solve?

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

Our Black and Brown children should have an opportunity in their community to celebrate their culture and the contributions of Black Americans; emphases our collective greatness and bring it to the forefront to help establish pride in our youth and community. Relevant to the community because untold concepts of true history and the contributions of Blacks in America needs to be highlighted in the most positive atmosphere and setting giving the opportunity to look back and forge forward positively.
