Since the beginning of the school year, Aidyn has been experiencing rejection and ridicule. It has gotten to the point now where he has lost his courage and confidence and doesn’t want to go back to school. Aidyn is very intelligent and has made all scholars since starting school.

As a young black man we are often perceived as angry, aggressive, dangerous, hood, or thug. These are negative terms which have unfairly coded 90% of our youth. “Distinguished Thursdays” is intended to denounce these perceptions and provide our boys with a sense of pride. Not only are they to dress to impress on Tuesdays, but they will present themselves with integrity, dignity, self-respect, and self-worth.
