Editorial - 
I'm Shocked; You're Shocked:
Another Black Child Murdered
 
by Kenneth Braswell
 
Kenneth Braswell and sons
I couldn't help but ask myself the question; "should I be shocked?" Another black youth shot down in the prime of his life visa vie unusual circumstances; Yeah, what's shocking bout that? I've asked myself this question over and over; against my need and desire to still grieve for Trayvon and struggling with my morals to remain empathic. However I can't ignore that I've lived long enough to remember the stories of Emmitt Till. A tragedy that lends some context to the value or lack thereof for young black life pressed up against the hard rock of racism.

Why Mentor?
 
Because this is our state of emergency today:
  • Of all Black fourth-graders, 58% are functionally illiterate.
  • In some cities, 80% of our boys drop out before finishing high school.
  • Every day 1,000 Black children are arrested.
  • 1 in every 8 African American males ages 25-29 is incarcerated.
  • The number one cause of death for our boys is homicide.
