On behalf of the children and youth we serve, Concerned Black Men congratulates Senator Barack Obama on becoming the 44th President of the United States.

We celebrate this accomplishment in the face of troubling times. America is in the midst of perhaps its greatest challenges. Our financial system is in crisis, the country is fighting wars on dual fronts, and steady work is elusive for many throughout the nation. Many of our fellow citizens would be thankful just not to lose their homes before Inauguration Day. In the face of so many obstacles, what becomes of our children? Can we create a new and better future, or will we leave our youth with an even greater mountain to climb?

Concerned Black Men remains determined to create an America where every child has a responsible and caring adult in his or her life. For 33 years, CBM has offered young people from difficult backgrounds mentorship, tutelage and life skills to overcome challenges. From teen pregnancy prevention to academic support, Concerned Black Men, its nationally recognized staff down the street from the White House, and its 32 chapters from Los Angeles to Boston, convinces people of good will that anything is still possible.     

And that’s the good news the President-elect brings. Senator Obama’s substance, born of hard work and support from key mentors, made the difference in his life. We can tell our children about life’s possibilities, rather than dwell on its limitations.

CBM wants to help the new President accomplish great things for our youth. Our strategy includes nationwide mentoring programs, and an emphasis on increasing high school graduation for boys of color.

Concerned Black Men is ready to help this new President, and asks all Americans for their support.

In Caring For Our Youth
