“Strengthening faith, family and education is more paramount than ever before in the black community and our broader society,” said Kendall Qualls, President of TakeCharge Minnesota. “The problems we read about in the news—car jackings, academic disparities and mass shootings—are merely symptoms of the deterioration of all three institutions. I am excited to continue to be able to bring people, ideas, and resources together through TakeCharge’s mission and the work we do.”
