African American Violence Speakers

In many African American communities, violence is very prevalent due to poverty, drugs, and gangs. This isn't just bad for black people, but for all Americans as we continue struggle to compete in the world economy. With the loss of life and communities in disarray, our African American violence speakers will share insights on how to address the problems that many communities face. This page features speakers from many different walks of life who have the same goal: reduce the level of black-on-black violence so that we can build stronger and sustainable communities.
