ABOUT THE EVENT /

In the Spring of 2010, author and radio personality Michael Baisden’s 1 Million Mentors Campaign was held in Chattanooga. He challenged the attendees with the following statement, “What are you going to do when I leave Chattanooga?”

On May 18 2010, a group of men from various organizations (e.g fraternities, 100 Black Men, Boule, Shriners, Masons, service organizations, etc.), with an interest in helping young African-American males become successful and productive adults, began planning a Boys’ Leadership Summit (BLS) which was held in October 2010. The Boys’ Leadership Summit (BLS) targets males in grades 6-12 and will involve workshops, training and other activities to help attendees learn to cope with issues and problems facing youth today. We are expecting 500 boys and 100 parents to attend this year's BLS.

For Rictor Craig Jr., going to school was never a drag. He knew early on that both giving and receiving an education would be major passion of his. He knew so much, that he began taking college courses in the 11th grade in his hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Rictor holds a B.A. in Professional English from North Carolina A&T State University, a M.A.T from Morgan State University, a Masters of Science in Administration from Trinity Washing University and is currently pursuing his Doctorate in Educational Leadership from The University of Maryland Eastern Shore. Rictor attributes his love of learning to his parents, who didn’t have the same opportunities as he did when it came to education. For Rictor , encouraging and overseeing scholars is import in guaranteeing quality education and hope for an better education.
