<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">The 2014 Black and Latino Male Summit (BLMS) provides a forum for Black and Latino men to discuss issues on manhood and to develop strategies to achieve academic success, professional development, and wellness.
Furthermore, the organizers and sponsors of this summit seek to promote camaraderie, coalition building, and community between Black and Latino men at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Last year’s event was attended by about 100 students, community
members and administrators; summit participants came from an array of colleges and universities: 2-year, 4-year, public and private. We want to match last year’s energy and output.
