The Black Parallel School Board is calling on adult Black males to be a mentor to young Black boys, once a week during lunch time at Jedediah Smith Elementary School, 401 McClatchy Way Sacramento, CA 95818. Why? A Black boy has a 1 in 3 chance of going to prison in his lifetime compared to 1 in 17 for his white male counterpart, Homicides among African American males ages 15-19 years of age represent one of the leading causes of death and 59 percent of Black males in their early 30s who dropped out of school had prison records. For more information please contact: Principal Billy Aydlett at (916) 264-4175
