Rep. Jamaal Bowman hosted a private forum in Yonkers Sunday night centered on conversations for and about Black men in America.

The event aimed to focus attention on the crises that affect Black men today.

"We focused on problems and solutions. Some of the problems were gun violence, lack of housing, education and many others," Bowman elaborated. "Some of the solutions involve investing in historically under invested communities, bringing jobs, bring affordable housing and entrepreneurship."

The Democratic National Committee, which is spearheading a nationwide "Black Men Organizing" tour, co-sponsored the event.
