     PHILADELPHIA, PA (USA) -- 19 November 2019 -- The USA International Men’s Day Team is pleased to announce that the National Men Of Color Association is the recipient of the 2019 International Men’s Day L.T. HENRY Transcending Boundaries Award – Certificate of Recognition.  Inaugurated by Jerome Teelucksingh, Ph.D., the Founder of International Men’s Day (http://www,usainternationalmensday.blogspot.com),  the International Men’s Day L.T. HENRY Award acknowledges individuals, institutions, and organizations who help  improve the manner in which our global village addresses the key challenges (e.g., poverty, ethnic and religious intolerance, homelessness, hunger, Fatherlessness, Mass Incarceration, recidivism, education, physical and mental health, violence, and lack of real-life options) that prevent Men and Boys from reaching their full potential and empowering the communities in which they live and work.   The award is named after Mr. L.T. Henry, the architect of IN SEARCH OF FATHERHOOD® which facilitates a Global Dialogue on Fatherhood and Men’s Issues.  Mr. Henry envisioned a world in which Men throughout our global village would transcend the boundaries of religion, language, ethnicity, politics, class, economics and culture to collaboratively address the myriad of unique issues which are directly and indirectly related to raising children and empowering the communities in which they live and work from a male perspective.

                 International Men’s Day which was inaugurated in November 1999 by Jerome Teelucksingh, Ph.D., a Gender Issues Thought leader, educator, and prolific author in Trinidad and Tobago celebrates the invaluable contributions that Men – everyday Men – make to our families, our communities, and our world.   Observed on 19 November of each year, in 2019 International Men’s Day is being observed by 86 nations, including the United State, under the theme, “The Next 20 Years . . . Gender Equality”.  International Men’s Day share a 48-hour partnership with Universal Children’s Day which is celebrated worldwide on 20 November of each year and is endorsed by the United States.  To learn more about International Men’s Day, visit http://www.usainternationalmensday.blogspot.com or contact the United States International Men’s Day Coordinator, Diane Aisha Sears  by sending an e-mail to: insearchoffatherhood@gmail.com.
