‘Library of Greatness’ makes a splash
After seven years of dedicated formal and informal research, Dr. Vincent Anderson has launched the first of many community-building initiatives under V3P. The inaugural project, titled Library of Greatness, is designed to inspire and empower Black American youth. When asked about the significance of the program, Dr. Anderson explained, “I feel that Black American children have been inundated with images and stories of Black American athletes and entertainers. While we deeply appreciate our athletes and entertainers, they represent only a small fraction of the Black American experience. I believed it was equally important to highlight everyday Black Americans who lead healthy, productive lives outside of the athletics and entertainment industries.”
The first two days of filming were an overwhelming success, according to the V3P staff. A total of 22 hardworking and inspirational Black American professionals participated, sharing their personal stories to empower the next generation. Dr. Anderson, overjoyed by the community's support, said, “You just don’t know how excited I am to share this with our youth. Black American youth across the country will have access to this information and stand to benefit immensely from these professionals and their stories.”
Between heartfelt conversations and moments of laughter, Library of Greatness has set the stage for a series of transformative programs. V3P is off to a remarkable start, making a lasting impact with its mission to inspire and uplift Black American youth.
