Office of the President I Dr. Ken Atwater

Dear BBCB Attendees,

I want to welcome you to the 14th Annual Black, Brown and College Bound (BBCB) Summit. BBCB was established to spark a conversation surrounding the challenges of African American and Latino male students in higher education at Hillsborough Community College and across the nation. Over the last decade and a half, the Summit has emerged as the preeminent forum to address the unique barriers facing minority males that impede student success. Our BBCB leadership team has worked with great diligence to bring inspiring and relevant programming to this conference, and it is a testament to their work that we have so many who have joined us in partnership as we share ideas to the unique problems faced by this population. As we bring together national scholars and leaders in economics, business, education and social culture, we provide a unique environment for students, administrators, faculty and staff to collaborate and share ideas and best practices on this critically important issue.

For over a half a century, Hillsborough Community College has provided access to affordable postsecondary educational opportunities for the residents of Tampa Bay. As a majority minority institution, we are proud to have been founded on the belief that everyone has the intellectual capacity to learn, and we work extremely hard to ensure that no student’s dream of a college education is left unfulfilled. The work that has been done through the Black Brown and College Bound Summit has enabled us to fulfill that mission and has helped others to do the same.

To our BBCB team, congratulations on another job well done, and to our attendees, we are delighted to welcome you to Tampa. Have a great conference.

Sincerely,

Dr. Ken Atwater

CITY OF TAMPA - OFFICE OF THE MAYOR - Jane Castor, Mayor

Dear Summit Attendees:

Welcome and thank you for participating in the 14th Annual Black, Brown and College Bound (BBCB) Summit focusing on preparing and empowering African-American and Latino males for successful futures. Held at the Tampa Marriott Waterside Hotel & Marina in Tampa, Florida on March 6-9, 2020, this important event is sponsored by Hillsborough Community College in partnership with several of Florida’s other leading universities and colleges.

This BBCB summit is one of most preeminent national voices to address issues facing Black and Latino males enrolling in and completing college, and it will focus on the challenges of and solutions for enrollment and completion rates. The theme for 2020 is Taking Care of Business, and the comprehensive event will include professionals and students sharing valuable information regarding successful strategies, dialogs about critical issues, exploring mentoring programs that enable the success of young men, and providing the latest research of the methods higher education institutions can employ to increase access, persistence, and retention and graduation rates. The agenda features many esteemed and expert speakers including keynote speaker John Quiones, Broadcast Journalist, Author, Motivational Speaker, and host of the popular American Broadcasting Company’s “What Would You Do” television show.

This annual summit has been invaluable for over a decade in helping address the low enrollment rates of African-American and Latino males in our colleges and universities and has attracted some of the most influential national speakers and scholars. It has also been instrumental in providing a forum for educators, community leaders and others to engage in discussions and explore ways to increase diversity on our campuses. In order to build a successful community, we must begin with making sure our youth are given the right resources to develop into contributing members of our society. Your participation today is helping achieve this goal and is greatly appreciated.

Again, thank you for your involvement in this important summit and your efforts to make a difference in educational opportunities for our youth.

Sincerely,

Jane Castor

Dear Black Brown & College Bound Summit Guests,

On behalf of the constituents of Senate District 19 welcome to the Tampa Bay Area. It is a distinct honor to extend greetings on the convening of the 14th Annual Black Brown College Bound National Summit (BBCB) hosted by Hillsborough Community College. I am deeply appreciative of the college’s willingness to host, address, and explore potential solutions to societal obstacles that African American and Latino males face on a daily basis.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once stated, “A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.” BBCB Summit offers a unique experience for men of color who, for decades, have faced barriers to achieving success. This Summit provides a platform where leaders can emerge as positive thought agents for change in our society

Each day, men of color struggle to be recognized for their expertise, talents, and intellect. The BBCB Summit gives all guests a sense of hope and optimism. The Summit team has assembled the best and brightest minds who have paved the road to success. It is in their stories you will be inspired by their challenges and leave with a renewed spirit of determination.

Congratulations to Hillsborough Community College for annually providing a forum where mentoring and partnering are encouraged. The value of the dialogue that will take place over the next three days can be measured by the leadership demonstrated by each participant. Please accept my best wishes for a successful BBCB Summit.

Sincerely,

Darryl E. Rouson – Senate District 19

ED “TOO TALL” JONES

Legendary football player Ed Lee Jones was given the nickname “Too Tall” due to his height of 6’10”—impressive even by modern standards. During the 1970s, he was extremely above average in height for a football player (neither of his parents were above six feet). He graduated from the Merry High School in Jackson and attended Tennessee State University.

Jones was the number one NFL draft choice in 1974. He played defensive end for the Dallas Cowboys from 1974–1978, attempted a professional boxing career winning all of his bouts in 1979, and returned to Dallas to play for the Cowboys from 1980–1989. He was
