Beyond The Bricks Project
Brief Review of BTBP Screening kit by: Forrest D. Toms, Sr., Ph.D., Associate Professor Department of Leadership Studies NC A&T State University
BTBP was conceived, designed and implemented as a community engagement vehicle with an intentional focus on Black males. From a process perspective, the accompanying BTBP tool kit and materials used to prepare a community for a one day program is clearly user friendly, easily organized for implementation and inherently requires a network of diverse community stakeholders and partners to be successful. The onsite program includes multiple points of engagement for different stakeholders, including teachers, administrators, faith-based organizations, non-profits, businesses, parents and students. The structure and formatting of the program offers participants a flow of engaged experiences and access to new knowledge about challenges facing Black males and their communities. By combining the knowledge, wisdom and insight of notable scholars and leaders with the practical views and experiences of the audience, BTBP offers a viable, flexible and needed documentary and community engagement model as a foundation to build from.
