It was an honor for BNO Founder to deliver the Keynote Address at the High Voltage Youth Camp (HVYC) Destiny Luncheon, which took place last month. Parents, teachers and students engaged in the community enrichment programs at the UNO/Nelson Charter School are committed to improving the lives of our disadvantaged youth. HVYC is an exemplary program led by a dedicated educator and community leader, Katherine S. Johnson. Special Thanks to Peyton Manning’s PeyBack Foundation, Maple Street Bookstore, N.O. Jazz & Heritage Foundation and The New Orleans Musician’s Clinic.
Speech Abstract::
“Our monumental accomplishments of the past have set the stage for how we can excel in the future. An engaged and responsible citizenry will transform the tragedy of this storm into a triumph in the great American narrative - because the vibrancy of the world can be seen in the resilient people of New Orleans.”
