Friendship-West Baptist Church will host Brothers to Brothers: Shooting Our Shot at the Polls, a virtual event designed to mobilize and encourage Black men to engage in the civic process by voting on Election Day, on Friday, November 1, 2024, at 8 p.m. CST. This live virtual event will feature Dr. Frederick D. Haynes III, senior pastor of Friendship-West Baptist Church, NBA MVP and NBA All-Star, Stephen Curry, and Dr. Michael J. Sorrell, President of Paul Quinn College, an HBCU located in Dallas, Texas.
The event is free and open to the public. However, registration is required and can be completed here.
This live virtual conversation will discuss Black male civic engagement, what Black men are voting for, and the often-publicized perception of low Black male voter turnout with the goal of strengthening the Black male vision for the future.
