TODAYS BLACK MALE INTERVIEW PAGE 3 IN THIS ISSUE

Welcome to our newly revived

newsletter. Here at the 100 Black Men

of Maryland, Inc. we do a lot of great

things. We make a huge impact onBaltimore and the state of Maryland on

a daily basis. The question we ask

ourselves is How do we let folks know

what we are doing? Thats when the

light bulb came on. We have to create

our own newsletter to get the word out.

The 100 Black Men of Maryland, Inc. also

known as the 100 or 100 BMM, has

resurrected our old newsletter. Those

who may remember, at one time the 100

had a well-read newsletter with a huge

following. Somewhere along the way

we stop producing our newsletter.

Today we have decided to bring the

newsletter back to give our members

and supporters lots of insight on what

we do.

Our newsletter serves several functions.

The most important role is the sharing of

information between members. We are

a large organization with members in

various locations from Baltimore to

Central Maryland. It becomes a

challenge to share events and

accomplishments with everyone. Also

as some of our members age we stillwant them to feel included in everything

we do. Secondly, we have to toot our

own horn every now and then. We are

very excited about our past and our

bright future. We love to share what we

are doing with our most important

assets, our supporters. This newsletter

is as much yours as it is ours. We pray

that you will use the newsletter to follow

us and look for ways you can support us.

As our newsletter evolves feel free to

provide any suggestions. Wed like your

feedback on content as well as style.

Any member with an article or event

they want posted please let me know.

Finally it feels good to have our

newsletter back and we hope that you

will enjoy reading our reloaded edition.

Thanks,

Will Harrison

Congressional Briefing sponsored by the

National Commission for Teaching and

Americas Future (NCTAF)June 24

Brother Will Harrison and Towson

Student Jonathan Bryson joined me at

the NCTAF STEM briefing. This

Congressional briefing hosted by the

National Commission on Teaching and

Americas Future (NCTAF) provided a

blueprint for moving beyond traditional

teaching boundaries to achieve deeper

student learning, more effective

teaching, and higher impact community

engagement in STEM education.

This forum featured policy leaders from

Congress, business, government, and

philanthropy, as well

as a panel of high

school teachers from

NCTAFs NASA

Learning Teams

project in Maryland.

NCTAF presented an

important new reportwith findings and

recommendations

from its two year

NSFfunded study of

collaborative

teaching and learning

in STEM education.

The 100 supports the

work of NCTAF and

hopes to partner with

them in the future to

ensure ALL children have equal access toa quality STEM education.

Trumbone Shorty and Orelans

Sillopanna Music Fest: Anne Arundel

Fairgrounds. Troy 'Trombone Shorty'

Andrews' new album, Backatown (VerveForecast April 20), is the work of a rare

artist who can draw both the unqualified

respect of jazz legends and deliver a

high-energy rock show capable of

mesmerizing international rock stars

and audiences alike. With such an

unprecedented mix of rock, funk, jazz,

hip-hop and soul, he had to create his

own name to describe his signature

sound: Supafunkrock! Andrews is the

kind of player who comes along maybe

once in a generation, and Backatown is

the latest, clearest proof that his artistryis as singular as his raw talent. Shorty's

dream is now a musical reality of

potentially game-changing significance,

as he and his band prepare to shift the

musical landscape in a thrilling new

direction.
