BRING YOUR “A” GAME is a media tool – a helpful instrument to bring to light myriad issues facing young Black males in America, and largely, throughout the world.
It is an interactive Web site (TBD) with tools to engage in programming related to Black men and boys; opportunities to volunteer in your community; an interview with the filmmakers; a resource section; and a talkback option.
- Probably at no time in history has access to, and proficiency with, media and information technologies been more important in the public mind, nor more critical to policymaking.
- Nor at any time in the recent past have the nation's press, media, and information sectors been the object of as much intense public concern or scrutiny with a growing recognition of their unmatched importance in the conduct of our daily lives and democratic institutions.
- Never before have the once separate worlds of news, stored knowledge, and products of the mass media and entertainment industries converged locally, nationally, and globally, with even greater convergence certain to take place in the years ahead.
Twenty-First Century Foundation (21CF) urges community groups, faith-based organizations, schools, policymakers, and funders to use BRING YOUR “A” GAME to discuss not only the challenges that affect Black America, but to use it as the basis for conversations about solutions. How can each of us and our institutions, be the change agent to increase outcomes related to educational attainment, alternatives to the criminal justice system, and developing a successful work ethic? |
