TV’s Judge Mathis is coming to Grand Rapids

The celebrity judge is a keynote speaker for this year's Black Boys and Men National Symposium

Star of the long running “Judge Mathis” TV court show, Detroit native Greg Mathis will host one of three keynote presentations at Grand Valley State University’s Black Boys and Men National Symposium, talking about his campaigns for urban youth and equal justice.

The three-day event offers opportunities to learn about systems that impact the lives of black boys and men, and to drive change by bringing together educators, community organizations, industry leaders and corporate partners.

Other keynote speakers include the founders of “Two Men and a Stool,” a foundation promoting educational improvement, and author Steve Pemberton of The Lighthouse Academy which focuses on improving workplace culture and leadership practices.

The symposium runs June 11-13 at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel and registration is now open.
