Becoming Better Allies to Black Boys And Men In Portland.
Justice Rajee discusses his passion and advocacy for Black boys in Portland and the new course entitled: "Portland's African American Boys: How to be an Ally" this February at the Portland Underground Graduate School.
The course will focus on the past, present, and future faced by Black men in Portland. The participants will confront society's perceiptions and biases, as well as their own, and consider how Black men are working to change these negative narratives. Students will also learn how to take personal and collective action to make a difference. In the end, the participants will be be equipped to engage and support Black men without being another source of harm, and have a concrete plan for moving forward.
Justice Rajee is a program manager at Portland Opportunities Industrialization Center, serving Black young men on probation. He is the Justice Subcommittee Chair for Black Male Achievement Portland. He is also the creator/host of the Ask Your Oldhead podcast.
