About SLANG

---

SLANG (Struggling, Living, and Never Giving

up) was founded in 2005 when a group of

youth community activist, Maurice

Robinson, Tyquilla Smith, and Eugene Beard

led protests against youth violence,

oppression, and all other ills that plague

people around the world. In 2009, SLANG

eventually evolved into a school club at the

downtown campus of J. Sargeant Reynolds

Community College providing mentoring

activities for K-12 students in the Richmond

City Public School system.
