About our group
A Legacy of Tradition (ALOT) is a Giving Circle comprised of ordinary African American men. Its members are collectively engaged and focused on impacting and bridging the societal gaps faced by African-American males in the areas of education, collective giving, and community responsibility. This group looks at a myriad of issues facing economically disadvantaged students. When the men of A LOT learned that African American boys comprise 65% of the suspensions in the Wake County school district, they conducted their own research and as a result were asked to be members of the Economically Disadvantaged Student Performance Task Force for Wake County Schools. The members of A LOT have shown that the impact of giving circles on a community can go far beyond dollars by diversifying the voices and perspectives addressing community needs. Kudos to A Legacy of Tradition (A LOT), winner of The 2012 Best Giving Circle Award by BlackCelebrityGiving.com.
