Lincoln Professor, Alum Appointed Black Male Engagement Director

Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney announced in February that 37-year old Jack Drummond will be the city’s new director of the Office of Black Male Engagement — a position created during the last administration to address the needs of young men of color.

“I’m touched and inspired to have been selected to a position like this,” Drummond said.

The Black Male Engagement Office is housed within the city’s Office of Public Engagement and was instituted under former Mayor Michael Nutter. The Office’s mission is to broaden the awareness and address the needs of young men of color.
