The Black Boys and Men: Changing the Narrative podcast series brings together thought leaders to analyze stereotypes and dispel myths concerning Black boys and men, to explore their strengths and achievements, and to discuss the many ways in which all of us can support their progress and well-being. Mayor Scott shares what it is like to be the first Black elected mayor of an iconic city in civil rights history: Little Rock Arkansas. He also discusses the growing vanguard of Black Millennial mayors in the South, what it means to be an effective role model to young Black boys, his plans for promoting equity in his city, and how being an associate pastor at Little Rock’s Greater Second Baptist Church has influenced his journey.
