Coming Back Together X-Cal to Action Education Forum
Syracuse University alumni returned to campus this weekend for Coming Back Together (CBT) X. Today’s CBT X schedule featured a panel discussion about “Saving Our Black and Latino Boys” at the School of Education that featured Syracuse Police Chief Frank Fowler, former SU Football player A. Alif Muhammad, Keith Alford, Dalia Rodriguez and Jeff Mangram. Muhammad (standing in photo above) stressed education with cultural sensitivity and warned against misrepresenting the behavior of black and Latino young men. Here’s an article written about Muhammad by Syracuse-based journalist Saundra Smokes.
