Years from now, The Black Men’s Initiative (B.M.I) will continue to support the academic, social, intellectual and spiritual growth of black male undergraduate and graduate students at The George Washington University (GW) by maintaining a community of men who will continuously support and encourage one another towards the end of personal growth and academic achievement. The B.M.I will continue to rally behind and support each other in every one of our endeavors. It is not our place to judge one another, but it is our place to inform our brothers how we feel if we truly believe it is important.
We will continually clarify that becoming part of this program does not mandate the necessity to give up the personal identity that one might strive to obtain. Instead, B.M.I offers a support system that safely guides black men through the college process; in hope that as they find their identities, they can also succeed and take advantage of their time at GW. The greatest crime we can commit as black men is not educating those who come after us about our previous experiences. Therefore, by informing these men, they can improve where we failed. We will continue to extend our hands to black men to become involved with this program that promotes solidarity in a manner that guarantees mutual success.
