- Marguerite Kondracke, Mr. and Mrs. Powell and Mr. and Mrs. Bryant at dinner
My sweetie, Mrs. Sheila Kennedy Bryant, and I were honored to spend an intimate dinner with Mrs. Alma Powell, chairwoman of the America’s Promise Alliance, and General Colin Powell, its spokesman, along with my friend Marguerite Kondracke, president and CEO of the Alliance and a small group of their supporters, two weeks ago in Washington, D.C. It was at this dinner that I shared my vision for 5 MILLION KIDS (www.5MK.org).
Within days following this incredible gathering Operation HOPE and America’s Promise Alliance had agreed to work together around a national partnership to help stem the growing high school dropout epidemic in America. Exciting stuff, and the best is yet to come. Log onto www.5MK.org and check out what we are doing, track our progress, and make a 5MK Pledge. Also, leave your comments, thoughts and suggestions on what we are up to here. One person can make a difference.
Be that one person!
Onward with HOPE
John Hope Bryant
