PRESIDENT OBAMA TOWN HALL: Speaks with basketball superstar Steph Curry in Oakland, CA (FNN)
The gathering marks the fifth anniversary of the initial launch of My Brother’s Keeper, an initiative started by President Obama following the death of Trayvon Martin. MBK Rising! is an opportunity for youth and community leaders to connect, learn, and share. The MBK Alliance, now part of the Obama Foundation, leads a national call to action to build safe and supportive communities for boys and young men of color where they feel valued and have clear paths to opportunity – with a focus on encouraging mentorship and reducing youth violence.
Also in today’s mainstage session, John Legend will engage in a discussion with Sybrina Fulton, the mother of Trayvon Martin; Rev. Wanda Johnson, the mother of Oscar Grant; and Rep. Lucy McBath, the mother of Jordan Davis.
