Brothers Liberating Our Communities (BLOC) was founded in 2016 by a group of Black Male Educators from Kansas City, MO. Inspired by The Fellowship and the work of Sharif El-Mekki , BLOCs first initiative was to simply connect the black male educators already existing in the ecosystem. Through intentional social and networking meetings, the BLOC grew to over 150 Educators in the Greater KC Metropolitan Area.
