President Obama to Young Men of Color: "You Matter. You Count."

This Sunday at 7 p.m. ET, Discovery Channel and OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network will air RISE: The Promise of My Brother’s Keeper — a documentary that explores the lives of the boys and young men of color from four programs across the U.S. that are living the principles of the My Brother’s Keeper initiative.

Watch the following excerpt, in which President Obama explains how every child matters, regardless of their circumstances:

 

(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));

"You matter. You count. You have talent. You have capacity. We're going to help you." —President Obama to young boys and men of color: http://on.fb.me/1H38zm4 #MyBrothersKeeper
