Barack Obama Instagram – In 2014, in the wake of Trayvon Martin’s death, I challenged every community in the country to implement strategies to help boys and young men of color succeed. Today, I’m proud to see the incredible impact the @MBK_Alliance communities are having—helping hundreds of community leaders across the country solve problems for the next generation. Thanks to the tireless efforts of MBK communities, cities like Newark, Omaha, Tulsa, and Yonkers have changed the odds—creating opportunities for our young people to achieve their full potential. The MBK Model Communities initiative represents the next phase of the MBK Alliance’s work to help communities take on their biggest challenges—and I look forward to continuing this work alongside them for years to come.
