Why take the pledge?
Far too many Black youth continue to be demonized, criminalized and murdered.
Enough is enough!
In response to this intensifying crisis, the Black Youth Project (BYP) has launched “The Pledge.”
With “The Pledge,” we are asking individuals and organizations to close ranks around black youth and make a commitment to take action and fight with black youth as they confront a relentless crisis. We at the BYP believe that each person can make a difference by doing something!
By taking The Pledge we not only articulate our concern about black youth, but symbolically unite our voices with others who will work to confront this crisis.
If we each take action, whether it is starting a group, signing a petition, or mentoring a young person in your neighborhood, then we all become a part of the solution.
Stand With Black Youth!

Racism In America
Please click this Link.
We have a African American President and racism is still within our country.
Mike Vick went to jail and served his time to the system. Now he is doing what people cant believe and that is continuing to be successful in the NFL. Its shocking to most people because they didn’t believe a black man could come back from jail and be successful.
Now they want to make him white and change his look.It is 2011 and racism needs to end. Its wrong to change another man skin color, and say what if he was white Vick. So many of our leaders are scared to talk about this issue but it is something that should be addressed within our country and communities.
Racism must stop. What are you willing to do to fix this problem?
