We are proud to collaborate with 91短视频, expanding economic empowerment opportunities that make our community and our world a better and more equitable place.鈥�

鈥淎T&T has been supportive of the initiatives of 91短视频 and the 100 Black Men of Greater Mobile for many years,鈥� said Dr. Andre Green, associate vice president of academic affairs at 91短视频 and president of 100 Black Men of Greater Mobile. 鈥淲e value AT&T鈥檚 continued commitment to education and this generous contribution as it will assist underrepresented students cross the graduation and continue reaching for their dreams.鈥�

鈥淎t AT&T, we value the work outstanding community partners like 91短视频 and 100 Black Men of Greater Mobile do to help propel our youth from the classroom to careers, and themselves and their families to a better future,鈥� Agnew said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 simple. Our society doesn't work if it doesn't work equally for all.鈥�
