FORUM FROM 4a he learned with fellow members of Men Inspiring Success through Education and Role models (MISTER), an RCCC male-mentoring program. Kevin Gillespie, 17, a senior at East Rowan High School, knows the importance of having positive male role models. His father isn’t part of his life. “My older brother is a good person to follow because most of the time he does the right thing,â€? said Kevin, an A student who plays on his football squad. “My mom, Georgia Gillespie, is my biggest role model, though. She’s very strong and has maintained our household the way it is and has raised me in a positive way.â€? Kevin said he was grateful to Jenkins and Carter for holding the symposium. “I think it’s a very positive thing because it shows that somebody is really taking the time out to show us they care about us,â€? Kevin said. He and some East Rowan classmates attended the symposium with Andre McCain, a teacher’s aide for exceptional children and an assistant football coach. Jamell Clarke, 22, a junior marketing major at JCSU, said he came to the symposium so he could better understand what it means to be a leader. “I want to be a role model and have a positive influence on kids,â€? said Clarke, of Atlanta. “My dad taught me a lot and is still teaching me a lot, and I want to do the same thing for others.â€? Chelson Perry, 22, a senior business administration major at Livingstone, said he is enjoying the symposium. “I really enjoyed hearing the men share their stories and struggles and how it’s very important to have positive black male role models in your life.â€? The symposium began after Livingstone’s drum line and JCSU’s drum line pumped up the crowd before Jenkins and Carter spoke. “I must tell you that I’m awed by what I see here today,â€? Jenkins said. “I’m awed by what we are about here today.â€? Carter told the students they were planting seeds of hope by attending the symposium. “You are planting the seeds today — seeds of promise, seeds of hope, seeds of opportunity for young men of color today, tomorrow and tomorrow’s tomorrow,â€? Carter said. After both presidents spoke, Dr. Maya Angelou recited her poem “Sons and Daughtersâ€? via videotape before emcee “Bustaâ€? Brown told the crowd to get ready for the film, “Beyond the Bricks.â€? Produced by Washington Koen Media Productions and directed by Derek Koen, the powerful documentary was a symposium highlight. It began with a voice-over by President Barack Obama and transitioned to Shaquiel Ingram, 15, a freshman at Barringer High School’s 9th Grade Success Academy in Newark, N.J. Once Shaquiel spoke, it became obvious he’s bright beyond his years. “It’s not cool to be smart because everybody wants to emulate the rappers ‌ when it should be the other way around,â€? Shaquiel said. “You’ll find when you get older that the smart kids who did all the work and stuff are really going to be your boss.â€? Shaquiel discussed not living with his mother because she already had five other children at home and not having a close relationship with his father. The film depicted Shaquiel doing poorly in school until he was connected with some positive male role models, including Thomas Reddick Jr.
