Carter G. Woodsen Lecture

After 27 years as the chief editor of Essence magazine and the visionary credited with building the brand, Susan L. Taylor left publishing to devote her life to building an organization that is devoted to breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty among African Americans. The National CARES Mentoring Movement is that organization: a community transformation crusade dedicated to "changing the predictable futures defined for our young who are struggling along the margins and living with the indignity of poverty," she says.
