Donate to BTC   CELEBRATING BLACK HISTORY MONTH    As we celebrate Black History Month, it is important to acknowledge that highlighting Black lives and Black achievements  is a year round celebration. Click to read this year's Root 100 list for 2020. As described by The Root:  The Root 100 is our annual list of the most influential African Americans, ages 25 to 45. It’s our way of honoring the innovators, the leaders, the public figures and the game changers whose work from the past year is breaking down barriers and paving the way for the next generation. This year’s list of honorees is a reminder of the beauty and brilliance of Blackness, at a time when the political and cultural landscape has grown even more hostile to the idea of Black achievement.

We are so proud of all of the work our teams continue to do.  BTC services will remain remote as much as possible until we can ensure that our participants are also safe and healthy in our office spaces.
