(((My Fellow Americans))) #110: King Randall

King Randall is a 21 year old Marine vet who saw a problem in his community in Georgia and decided to fix it. So he started The "X" for Boys, a program dedicated to helping at-risk Black boys in his community by teaching them vocational skills and getting them out of unsafe environments and into his organization's custody. Many of these kids were in abusive homes, homeless shelters, or juvenile detention. The X's philosophy of "do for self" instills in these boys a sense of independence and belonging, and teaches them the skills to thrive and prosper. King is reclaiming children from a system that wants them desperate and subjugated. And guess who's trying to stop The X from helping even more kids? If you guessed the government, you'd be correct. Join us as we talk about the challenges King is facing them, and how he's overcoming them.
