AMERICAN MENTORS: Value of a Whole Village

Last week we took an advance look at your inheritance.  It seems that far too many Americans have accepted the status of being minority--less than equal.  It’s a dangerous position to put yourself in and, for your children, it’s proven to be life-threatening.

We dropped by historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta for some insights on American Civil Rights after Ferguson, Missouri, after Sanford, Florida, Cleveland, Oakland, Chicago and countless American communities where people of color have been valued as less than equal.

There’s a conversation underway, and it goes way beyond the sound-bites you rely on for your daily feeding.  We’ll want to prepare for the conversation, and we’ll want that conversation to result in substantive change where you live, learn, work and worship.  So this week, your American Mentors are calling on current and future economic beneficiaries to step up as economic leaders in America’s Transformation.
