As young Black fathers protect their families from Covid-19 and fight against injustice, this CNN Hero is providing the food, diapers and support they need
Through his non-profit in Chicago, the Dovetail Project , he has taught hundreds of young fathers like himself parenting and life skills to become positive role models and responsible parents. And when Covid-19 hit, Smith mobilized to make sure they have the resources and support they need. "When businesses were closing and doing layoffs, many of our young men lost employment," said Smith, a 2016 CNN Hero. "Black fathers are important," he said. I tell our young men all the time that they are myth-busters.
