The BMDS will provide an opportunity for youth, adults, educational institutions, community organizations, and individuals to participate in a one-day symposium designed to address the life threatening issues facing Black male youth and adults.

The Black Male Development Symposium was conceived and developed by the leadership at Third World Press to provide a unique opportunity for Black males and females, of all ages, to address the myriad of problems that are having an adverse effect on the socialization of young Black males. To date, Symposiums have been held in Chicago, IL; Columbus, OH; and Detroit, MI; thanks to the efforts of Patrick Oliver, Haki Madhubuti and the host institutions.

The problems facing today's Black males are multiple, deeply rooted and exceedingly complex. Indeed they have become major obstacles, which are dramatically disrupting the normal socialization of Black males and causing a disproportionate number of them to face a future that is indisputably bleak.
