A
Allow
me
to
first
just
welcome
and
thank
everyone
on
behalf
of
President,
Clinton,
Bullock
and
rest
of
the
CCAC
community.
We
thank
you
for
participating
in
this
very,
very
important
endeavor,
the
title,
my
brother's
keeper,
those
three
words
initially,
when
you
hear
them,
they
counted
three
three
things.
The
first
one
is
that
it
commentates
ownership,
the
second
one
relationship
in
the
third
being
commitment,
none
of
which
can
be
negated.
A
If
you
say
I,
my
brother's
keeper,
the
community
college
of
allegheny
county
has,
for
a
number
of
years,
continue
to
be
the
highest
concentration
of
african-american
males
of
any
institution
of
western
Pennsylvania.
With
that
being
said,
we
have
a
responsibility
here
that
we
have
taken
very
seriously
in
educating
students
of
color
through
degrees
through
certifications
through
through
workforce
development
and
through
trade
certifications.
A
Our
mission
is
to
make
sure
that
the
students
who
come
through
those
doors
they
successfully
navigate
and
they
overcome
the
hurdles
that
they're
going
to
face
by
their
students.
Here
at
our
school
we
have
an
initiative
called
the
men
of
merit
initiative
and
that
initiative
is
designed
to
keep
track
of,
to
support
to
mentor
and
when
necessary,
to
be
engaging
in
to
care
for
those
students
who
a
lot
of
times
end
up
being
statistics.
A
So
again,
we,
the
community
of
CCAC,
applauds
everyone
that
sits
on
this
committee
and,
very
briefly,
we're
going
to
have
everyone
come
up
and
are
going
to
speak
about
what
the
individual
groups
do
and
how
they
plan
on
being
helpers.
In
my
brother's
keeper,
the
first
person
wanted
to
introduce
now
I'm,
going
to
also
give
some
instructions
I'm
going
to
introduce
one
person
and
then,
after
that,
he
or
she
will
have
the
responsibility
of
introducing
the
person
that
precedes
them.
A
B
Thanks
Devon
and
I
know
my
Jobs
introduced
the
mayor,
so
I
did
get
the
instructions
and
then
I
gave
the
mayor
his
instructions
and
we
will
figure
it
out.
But
first
of
all
you
know
when
the
mayor
and
I
took
up
the
president's
challenge
a
year
ago.
You
know
President
Obama
laid
out
a
very
ambitious
but
an
extremely
worthy
challenge
of
my
brother's
keeper
and
the
six
goals
that
are
laid
out
about
starting
school,
being
ready,
physically,
emotionally
being
able
to
read
a
proficiency,
a
third
grade
level
graduating
from
high
school.
B
All
the
goals
that
are
laid
out
are
certainly
worthy
achievements,
and
we
brought
together
a
terrific
committee
of
folks
who
work
in
various
levels.
In
this
you
know
in
different
realms
with
some
working
with
childhood
education.
Some
work
with
workforce
development,
some
working
in
you
know
the
faith-based
communities
etc
and
we're
so
blessed
in
this
region
to
have
such
talent
and
to
have
such
caring
people
and
folks
who
really
throw
their
efforts
and
throw
their
heart
and
soul
into
this
type
of
work.
B
And
the
report
that
they
just
presented
to
the
mayor
and
myself
is
tremendous.
I
I.
Would
stack
it
up
against
any
city,
any
County,
any
region
in
the
country
over
90
pages
of
very
detail,
doable
in
achievable
results
and
I?
Think
it's
it's
incumbent
upon
all
of
us
to
make
sure
we
work
together
and
do
it
in
a
smart
and
efficient
collaborative
way,
which
is
how
we
solve
a
lot
of
problems
and
how
we
have
solved
many
problems
in
this
region.
B
B
You
know
coming
back
in
big
ways,
but
not
everybody
is
sharing
and
not
everybody's
participating
in
that
revitalization,
and
that's
our
challenge
is
to
make
sure
when
we
develop
some
of
these
neighborhoods,
whether
they
be
in
the
city
or
whether
they
be
in
the
Mon
Valley
or
in
the
north
hills
or
wherever
they
may
be,
that
are
all
sharing
in
this.
So
I'm
very
excited
and
I
want
to
thank
the
board
members.
The
commission
members
who
put
this
together.
They
have
a
lot
to
be
proud
of.
B
C
There's
a
real
sense
of
collaboration.
There's
there's
a
real
need,
not
just
in
Pittsburgh,
but
every
city
around
the
country
right
now,
disparities
growing,
it's
not
getting
better,
it's
getting
worse,
but
there's
also
a
real
sense
of
collaboration
in
Pittsburgh,
and
that's
why
we
have
such
a
great
report
at
the
end.
The
second
time
was
the
last
time.
C
I
was
down
there
when
the
Pope
visited
and
the
night
before
13
mayor's
were
gathered
in
to
have
a
roundtable
about
urban
issues,
and
they
brought
up
again
my
brother's
keeper
and
what
they
said
was
kind
of
interesting.
They
said
that
the
only
there's
very
few
times
when
an
email
will
be
sent
out
to
the
entire
White
House
and
whenever
it's
a
my
brother's
keeper
success
story,
they
send
it
out,
and
it's
one
of
the
few
times
that
the
president
will
reply
to
all
they're
going
to
have
an
email
going
out
tomorrow
and
I'm
betting.
C
The
president's
going
to
reply
to
all
I
want
to
thank
the
people
who
put
this
together
when
it
when
we
first
met,
and
we
were
first
putting
together
the
the
concerns
of
the
community
and
what
better
way
to
find
out
what
the
concerns
of
a
community
are.
Then,
by
going
into
the
community
and
asking
them
what
are
the
concerns
it
was
brought?
There
were
a
lot
of
issues.
It
was
at
the
very
beginning
of
Chief
McClay
in
the
new
administration
of
the
Police
Bureau
and
police-community
relations
were
at
the
top.
C
C
There
was
another
whole
level
and
over
the
course
of
a
year,
this
board
and
the
people
involved
in
it,
took
it
into
an
understanding
and
it
starts
at
a
very
young
age
and
it's
a
pipeline
that
then
allows
somebody
to
have
an
opportunity
for
success.
An
opportunity
is
the
key
word.
So
when
I
look
at
this
I
see
a
couple
of
things,
one
the
recommendation
that
came
just
moments
ago
that
it
has
to
continue.
C
They
can
end
with
a
report
that
there
has
to
be
a
commission
that
is
a
commission
between
the
city
and
the
county,
whether
this
view
our
first
well.
Well,
yes,
we
have
authorities,
but
we
don't
have
I
to
think
a
city
county
commission,
the
first
city
county
commission
in
an
issue
important
enough
to
create
it
and
I
commit
to
that,
and
then
second,
as
we
look
at
all
of
the
organizations
that
are
out
there,
it's
not
about
government
trying
to
take
over
that
work
its.
C
C
C
The
idea
was,
then
the
reformer
said
if
we're
going
to
break
that
cycle
and
give
those
kids
a
different
opportunity
than
working
in
that
Miller
in
that
mine,
then
we
got
to
get
them
into
an
education
system
and
they
created
in
that
industrial
age
k
through
12
in
K
through
12,
is
what
broke
that
cycle.
It's
what
let
the
children
of
the
mill
workers
and
the
mine
workers
have
an
opportunity
to
go
to
college
and
start
on
a
whole
new
path
to
success.
C
We
will
change
lives,
that's
what
this
reports
about,
and
it
says,
here's
where
you
commit
at
six
different
levels
in
order
to
make
it
happen
so
I'm
on
board,
it's
going
to
mean
that
we're
going
to
have
to
reprioritize.
Somehow
we
spend
some
City
money.
It's
going
to
mean
that
we're
going
to
have
even
stronger
partnerships
with
Pittsburgh
Public
Schools
and
in
the
county.
It's
going
to
mean
that
everyone
in
this
room
has
to
commit
to
because
it
only
happens
if
everyone
else
is
on
board
and
like
I
said,
this
won't
be
a
government
program.
C
This
will
be
the
empowering
of
the
people
who
are
going
to
be
working
individually
with
individuals
to
get
people's
lives
in
a
better
place
so
that
they
can
take
advantage
of
opportunity
will
be
there
and
they'll
be
able
to
succeed
themselves
and
my
partner
of
that
for
the
next
year
and
then,
when
she
becomes
a
consultant,
helps
us
with
these
programs.
And
we
don't
let
her
leave
Pittsburgh
as
dr.
Linda
Lane.
D
Well,
good
afternoon,
everyone
well,
thank
you
all
so
much
for
coming.
I
know
I'm
glad
to
be
here
this
afternoon
and
I
know
that
I
speak
for
all
the
superintendent's
in
the
county
because
we
always
say
community
and
governments
to
join
us
in
the
work
of
making
lives
the
way
we
wanted
to
be
for
our
young
people-
and
we
know
it
takes
all
of
us
to
do
that.
You
heard
already
about
the
six
goals
of
our
brother's
keeper
and
one
of
the
reasons
I
was
so
supportive
when
I
first
read
it.
D
When
the
president
first
announced
it
was
because,
as
those
goals
were
developed,
they
were
so
in
sync
that
are
our
goals
of
the
school
district
and
I
hope.
Well.
This
is
just
perfect.
For
example,
first
goal
ensuring
all
children,
inter-school
cognitively,
physically
emotionally
emotionally
ready
to
enter
kindergarten
successfully
and
our
first
milestone
for
our
children
is
ready
for
K
and
I
know.
D
There
is
a
huge
commitment
to
early
childhood
in
this
community,
so
that
is
perfect
for
us,
because
we
too
are
highly
committed
to
not
only
having
children
in
early
childhood
but
having
them
in
a
quality
program.
Second
goal:
ensuring
all
children
read
at
grade
level
by
third
grade
our
goals,
exact
same
goal.
Third
grade
is
the
make
or
break
if
we
can
get
them
there.
D
But
first
you
got
to
get
through
high
school
and
we
still
aren't
the
place
where
all
of
our
children
are
doing
that
successfully.
So
addressing
that
is
incredibly
important,
of
course,
here
in
Pittsburgh
we
have
the
advantage
of
eligibility
potential
eligibility
for
the
Pittsburgh
promise.
So
we
want
our
children
to
graduate
not
only
ready
to
finish
high
school,
but
also
prepared
to
have
enough
of
GPA
and
attendance
me
they're
at
school
every
day
so
that
they
can
qualify
for
that.
D
D
I
saw
you
right
out
here,
cashiers
office
right
and
even
at
CCAC,
where
the
prices
are
quite
reasonable
for
credit
hours,
you're
still
going
to
be
at
the
cashiers
office,
and
not
all
of
our
kids
are
prepared
to
do
that,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
we
give
them
that
boost
and
whatever
other
booths
we
can
give
in
that
space
and
then
one
of
the
things
I
appreciate
it
so
much
the
summer
was
having
employment.
Mr.
D
mayor
for
children,
our
young
people
who,
in
the
summer
my
belief
around
young
people,
especially
teenagers,
is
if
you
don't
give
them
something
to
do,
they
create
their
own
curriculum,
and
sometimes
we
like
that-
and
sometimes
we
don't-
and
so
it's
always
good
to
keep
them
as
busy
as
possible,
engaged
in
something
they
enjoy,
that
they
find
meaning
meaningful
because
busy
work
won't
do
it
for
them.
They
won't
do
that.
They'll
just
bug
out
on
you,
but
if
they
have
something
meaningful
to
do,
they
can
feel
a
part
of
that
adult
world.
D
Oh
absolutely,
they
love
that
they
love
that
because
they
like
to
serve
just
like
everybody
else.
So
that's
been
a
wonderful
thing
and
then,
of
course,
the
other
thing
I
have
to
mention
is
this
whole
goal
around
safety
and
the
efforts
recently
had
the
Bureau
police
and
black
woman
for
positive
change.
As
we
address.
How
do
we
keep
kids
safe
in
our
neighborhoods?
D
So
all
those
things
mean
we're
going
to
have
to
work
together
and
I
appreciate,
hearing
that
already
and
I
love,
music,
so
I
think
about
working
in
concert
and
in
a
concert
it
doesn't
mean
that
everybody
plays
the
melody.
It
doesn't
mean
that
everybody's
playing
a
drum
it
doesn't
mean
that
everyone
is
playing
the
Harmony.
D
All
those
things
have
to
come
together
by
that
concert,
master
that
helps
everybody
play
together
successfully
and
that's
why
I'm
hearing
us
talk
about
with
this
commission.
So
thank
you
all
so
much
for
being
willing
to
work
together
and
supporting
these
young
men
who
are
so
richly
deserving
and
just
a
close
I
was
with
them
yesterday.
Are
we
promised
young
men
and
for
those
that
you
don't
know,
because
in
the
Pittsburgh
promise
african-american
young
men
have
the
lowest
eligibility
rate
of
any
demographic
group?
We
put
together
a
program
to
mitigate
that.
D
It's
a
mentoring
program:
100
black
men
in
Pennsylvania
has
been
instrumental
in
helping
us
as
mentors
and
I
was
with
our
young
men
yesterday
and
I
invite
any
of
you
sometime
if
you've
never
been
to
a
we
promise.
I'm
at
these
are
juniors
and
seniors.
Yesterday,
please
come
you
will
be
so
impressed
with
them,
you'll
be
so
impressed
with
in
and
for
the
young
men
that
were
there.
Yesterday
we
went
with
him
a
couple
years
now
and
the
seeing
that
growth
was.
It
was
amazing.
D
D
E
Thank
you,
dr.
Lane,
and,
to
this
sting
guished
group
here,
I'm
I'm,
really
fortunate
I,
both
humbled
and
privileged
to
be
here
with
you
today,
because
the
United
Steelworkers
union,
my
employer,
clearly
understands
the
need
for
programs
and
commitment
to
my
brother's
keeper
to
the
initiative.
The
six
points
that
are
outlined
and
I'm
also
tasked
as
program
director
of
that
Pittsburgh,
a
Phillip
Randolph
Institute,
to
operate
a
workforce
development
program
that
creates
opportunity
for
young
men
and
women
from
underrepresented,
underserved
and
previously
incarcerated
communities
to
have
an
opportunity
to
have
family
sustaining
careers.
E
E
Your
ability
to
feed,
house
clothes
and
educate
your
family
and
yourself
is
purely
clearly
predicated
on
your
ability
to
meet
employer
specs
to
meet
their
needs
to
have
family
sustaining
employment.
It
doesn't
it's
not
rocket
science,
it's
hard
work
and
we're
really
fortunate
to
be
here.
We
really
think
that,
on
the
six
points
of
my
brother's
keeper
are
absolutely
critical,
because
the
outcomes
of
that
will
be
increased
per
capita
income,
increased
home
ownership
and
an
improvement
of
Public
Safety
and
underserved
underrepresented
communities.
E
F
Good
morning,
first
want
to
just
thank
the
mayor
and
the
county
executive
for
their
leadership
on
this
MBK
initiative.
This
is
a
great
great
initiative.
We
need
in
our
city
and
we're
going
to
move
it
forward.
My
piece
to
speak
about
is
the
Pittsburgh
keepers
of
the
community
collaborative.
This
came
together
through
the
leadership
of
legenda
and
the
mentoring
partnership
through
Colleen
fedora,
and,
be
me
we
we
set
out
to
with
the
goal
of
finding
more
male
mentors
more
black
men
mentors
in
this
city,
but
it'd
be
me.
F
We
believe
that
we
don't
need
to
find
any
more
mentors.
The
mentors
are
already
here:
black
men
already
leading
they're
already
serving
our
community
is
already
building
businesses,
so
we
just
brought
together
men
that
care
about
serving
our
kids
and
making
a
better
place
here
in
Pittsburgh.
So
brothers
like
dr.
quickly,
Ryan
Scott,
Tom
Baker,
you
know
brother
tally,
we've
all
come
together.
Jason
rivers
who's!
Not
here
all
these
men
care
about
our
kids
and
they've
been
caring
before
MBK
was
even
here.
F
So
our
goal
is
really
to
collaborate
and
to
really
have
a
network
of
men
that
serve
our
kids
within
schools
I'm.
Just
last
week
we
were
you
prep
or
we
did
a
full
day
at
you.
Prep
spoke
to
the
whole
high
school
and
and
brought
together
service
providers
within
the
schools
to
reach
kids
there.
We
hope
to
do
the
same
thing:
the
Westinghouse
to
Bashir
at
Obama,
and
really
bring
these
services
to
kids
that
are
so
important
and
so
vital.
F
So
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for,
for
you
know,
being
a
part
of
this,
because
you
all
are
keepers
and
please
join
the
pkc,
see
network
as
we're
going
it
out
brother
gene
from
the
Pittsburgh
promises
here.
Thank
you
for
your
support,
so
brother
Ron,
so
we're
all.
We
all
care
we're
all
here,
because
we
care
and
I
think
our
part
piece
is
really
to
show
that
and
to
bring
more
collaboration
through
the
work
that
we
all
do,
and
so
thank
you
so
much
and
I
also
want
to
bring
up
Carmen
Anderson.
F
G
Good
afternoon,
Thank
You
Harriet
I
must
clarify
that
is
a
bit
of
an
exaggeration,
but
we're
happy
to
partner
with
arian
several
others
of
you
in
the
room.
Thank
you
on
behalf
of
the
Heinz
endowments
for
this
opportunity
to
be
here
with
you,
I'm
happy
to
represent
the
endowments
and
the
work
that
we
do,
but
I
would
also
point
out
that
my
colleague,
dr.
Stan
Thompson,
is
in
the
audience,
he's
an
important
leader
at
the
endowments
and
in
the
work
related
to
this
agenda,
and
so
please
note
that
he
is
here
as
well.
G
The
Heinz
of
Delmont's
vision
for
southwestern
Pennsylvania
is
that
this
would
be
a
region
where
it's
a
premiere
place
to
both
live
and
work.
It's
a
center
for
learning
and
educational
excellence
and
as
a
home
to
diversity
and
inclusion.
We
recognize
and
have
recognized
for
some
time
that
this
vision
will
not
be
attained
as
long
as
a
significant
part
of
our
community
is
left
behind
the
my
brother's
keeper
initiatives
is
important
to
the
work
of
the
endowment
because
it
raises
the
visibility
of
opportunities.
G
It
leverages
important
resources,
sets
key
benchmarks
and
outlines
a
strategic
approach
to
the
healthy
development
and
trajectory
for
success
for
boys
and
young
men,
our
African
American
men
and
boys
initiative.
The
work
that
Stan
and
I
are
apart
of
was
created
actually
in
2007
to
identify
and
increase
educational,
economic,
social
and
leadership
opportunities
for
African,
American
men
and
boys
in
the
Pittsburgh
region.
G
We
use-
and
this
is
important
to
us-
an
asset-based
approach
in
working
with
african-american
community
to
create
improved
life
outcomes
for
this
population
and
from
the
beginning,
we
have
been
guided
by
a
community-based
advisory
board.
This
work
started
actually
with
a
series
of
community
conversations
and
input
from
our
advisory
board
and
based
on
those
conversations,
the
priority
areas
of
educational
opportunity,
access
to
economic
opportunity.
I
den
the
gender
and
character
development,
communications
and
evaluation
were
identified
as
most
important.
G
To
date,
the
endowments
has
made
grants
of
more
than
19
million
dollars
to
support
this
work
over
the
years
institutions
of
all
types
private
philanthropy
government
nonprofits
have
joined
what
is
now
a
national
movement
intended
to
write
historical
and
current
in
justices
and
embrace
african
american
men
as
assets
in
their
communities.
We
are
pleased
to
be
a
part
of
my
brothers
keepers
launch
in
Pittsburgh,
and
applaud
both
mayor
Peduto
and
County
Executive
Fitzgerald
for
their
leadership
and
commitment
to
ensuring
that
our
most
livable
city
includes
everyone.
G
A
Just
wanted
to
thank
the
panel
of
the
committee
and
I'll
say
this
portion
only
because
I'm
close
to
the
exit
side
and
the
door,
so
we
almost
made
it
through
with
the
introductions
except
for
brother
de
white.
You
win.
He
was
the
only
one
that
actually
almost
missed
his
introduction,
but
other
than
that
we
did
relatively
well.
But
thank
you
all
I'm
only
saying
that,
because
he's
down
there
and
it's
a
little
bit
safe,
he's
a
big
guy,
only
reason
I'm
but
again
I
just
wanted
to
thank
everyone
for
coming
out.
A
The
CCAC
community
is
glad
to
host
this,
and
I
do
want
to
close
out
with
these
final
words.
If
you
notice
the
the
curriculum
and
everything
and
my
brother's
keeper
is
saying
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
grasping
the
african-american
males
from
a
very
young
age.
One
of
the
things
that
Frederick
Douglass
said
is
that
he
said
that
it
is
easier
to
build
strong
children
than
to
repair
broken
men.
Remember
that
it
is
easier
to
build
strong
children
than
to
repair
broken
men.
A
So
we
want
to
start
from
out
of
the
out
of
the
room,
as
brother
said
out,
of
the
womb
to
the
tomb,
and
so
again
we
thank
you
for
coming
out,
and
that
concludes
our
program
and
we
would
ask
the
committee
to
remain
seated
so
that
we
can
do
some
pictures
and
photo
ops
and
things
like
that.
Thank
you
guys
for
coming
out.
