 One of the major goals of the Forum was to bring the research to the community. Dr. Neal-Barnett strongly believes that research cannot exist in a vacuum and must be shared with other scholars, mental health workers, parents, grandparents, and the youth themselves. On Wednesday evening, April 28, the Forum sponsored a community colloquium featuring Forum participant Dr. Jessica Henderson Daniel of Harvard Medical School. Dr. Daniel's talk "Packing Faith in your Bookbag: Carrying the Ultimate Power" was attended by over 400 people.
