Slavery – Produced generations of slave mentality and taught blacks to hate each based on skin color or titles, such as the field negro vs the house negro.

Political Slavery – became prevalent in the 1960s under Lyndon B Johnson when his strategy was to provide blacks with access to voting, welfare, and various programs for the democrats to own blacks for another 200 years. He called it The Great Society, but The Great Trick might be a better name if you look at the condition of urban cores. 

The Crack Cocaine Epidemic destroyed Black families with addiction, incarceration, death, and no trust for the addicted, leading to widespread homelessness.

PTI Trade School aims to remove the dark cloud of hopelessness and barriers to success in many Black communities because the current success plan for Black males is critically flawed. They compete against neighborhoods of scarce resources due to years of redlining practices, violence resulting from no hope – no resources – little education, and long-established school-to-prison pipelines.  Our youth have fallen victim to a system they struggle to overcome without the proper resources to make them aware of their value and abilities to achieve greatness and fulfill a purposeful life.
