4th Annual Striving for Success: African-American Male Summit One example of a specific strategy focused on the success of African-American male students is the Striving for Success: African-American Male Summit, hosted by the 100 Black Men, Urban League of Nebraska and Empowerment Network. The 4th annual event consisted of a full day of presentations, dialogue, Q & A sessions, role modeling and mentoring, and a keynote speaker. This year’s event was held on September 10, 2013 at the Metropolitan Community College Culinary Institute, and featured Josh Jones, former Central High and Creighton University student athlete. Over 140 African-American 9th grade young men and 40 African-American men from a wide array of careers and vocations participated in one of the group’s largest events. Many of the men made formal commitments to stay involved throughout the year, and follow up events and activities are in development. The participants thanked the presenters for providing an inspirational and life changing day of activities.
