Black Male Engagement Challenge
Black Male Engagement Challenge
Black Male Engagement, or BME (pronounced “be me”), is an initiative to recognize, engage, and inspire more black men to strengthen their communities.
Black men and boys are assets to their communities, and have long been engaged in addressing the issues and opportunities affecting their neighborhoods. It’s time these unsung heroes be recognized and celebrated. Through their efforts, these black men and boys will inspire and encourage others to become more positively engaged.
In 2011, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and the Open Society Foundations’ Campaign for Black Male Achievement joined forces to launch the Black Male Engagement Challenge (BME), aimed at demonstrating the existing positive role of black males, celebrating their efforts publicly, creating a BME community by connecting them to each other, and increasing the impact of the community-building efforts in which these men were already engaged.
