Bronx BP Urges Fathers to ‘Take Action’

Two weeks ago, Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr. held a forum called “Bronx Fathers Taking Action.” Below is video from the event, courtesy of the BP’s press office.

The forum featured a discussion between a distinguished group of panelists that included Psychologist, Author and Talk Show Host Dr. Jeff Gardere; Eagle Academy President David Banks; FACE/NYC Department of Education Executive Director Jesse Mojica; Bronx Legal Services Attorney Nelson Mar; Social Work Director Roger Ball; and NYC HRA Office of Child Support/Enforcement Representative Jeneen Johnson. The discussion is being shown on Bronxnet cable channel and you can watch it online here.

Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts.
