again the innovative organization known as The Brotherhood continues
to take steps toward improving the reality of young adults within the
African-American community. Previously located at Columbia's Teachers

who awarded them with enough money to fund their organization and purchase
a brownstone in Harlem. Although The Brotherhood was able to purchase
this building,, a few months ago it was in desperate need of serious
reconstruction. Currently, it is still under renovation as it moves
closer and closer to the picture-perfect environment for young people
to grow and manifest their talents.
