FATHER, SON TO EMCEE MILLION FATHER MARCH
Team Joins Outreach Effort To Prevent Teen Prostitution
FONTANA, CA. Local residents Dr. D.C. Nosakhere Thomas and son, Kamaal Thomas, say they could not end summer on a better note than being selected to co-emcee the Inland Empire Million Father March on September 8, 2012 at Cross Word Christian Church (March Air Reserve Base) in Riverside, CA.
Dr. Thomas, a renowned community and youth advocate, stated, “I am elated to join Bishop Sykes, Street Positive and the Black Star Project in a movement that encourages fathers to take their children to the first day of school. I will be taking my son Kamaal (Gates Millennium Scholar) to his first day of college at UC Davis in late September. So, sharing this opportunity with him as he prepares to leave home and begins manhood is truly a special moment for me as a father.”
Hurt people, hurt people
Street Positive CEO, Terry Boykins, says he will take his daughter, Genevieve (Dean’s list), back to school at UC Berkeley and then join Million Father March organizers and supporters in time for both the Inland Empire (9/8) and Los Angeles (9/29) marches.
