Detroit leads Philly in BME Challenge
When it comes to sharing the positive tales of black men in and around Detroit, our residents haven’t been shy.
Detroit currently leads Philly 1064 to 1017 in the Black Men Engagement Challenge (called BME or “be me” for short), which has called for recognizing local leaders, inspiring doers and change agents in the African-American community.
There’s just four days left to vote for your inspiration, Detroit — don’t miss the chance to recognize the people you know who are making their communities a better place to live. Go to bmechallenge.org for more information.
