In some of the neighborhoods in Milwaukee, there is a overwhelming sense of brokenness, that is more apparent to some more then others. Poverty issues combined with fighting for social justice and equality, has left many exhausted. When I heard the name of a group , it immediately grabbed my attention. For the simple fact that it is called, Black Men Build Milwaukee. The name reminded of the a great need, which is the building up some of our neighborhoods.
They group hosted a walk Saturday, to showcase a the strong black male presence in the neighborhood of 10th in Atkinson. During that time they passed out resources, encouraged the youth and residents. A much needed showing of black males, the group does the walks often, as the title suggests all for the love of the people. To get involved you can find them on social media handles such as Facebook or their web site. I will surely be on the lookout for more.
