CONTENTS from the EDITOR

1000 MEN RALLY 2008-Present / pg 7 Besides celebrating a birthday, I’m usually not excited

1on1 with Kimberly Moore / pg 9 about this time of year, and why should I be? The end
of August usually symbolizes the end of summer; the
Ramon Alexander: end of the season of vacations; the end of picnics,
The Distinguished Gentlemen / pg 11 and my favorite fruits. But this August it’s different. I’m
excited for a couple of reasons (besides my birthday
Men’s Health / pg13 of course): the 3rd annual 1000 Men Rally and the
Benjamin Crump: launch of LifeLine magazine. It’s always a joy to see

Advocate for Justice Speaks Out / pg 16 black men come together at the rally and challenge
each other for the betterment of our communities.
Rev. Greg James:
Rally for Redemption / pg 20 I believe that Lifeline magazine couldn’t have arrived at a more appropriate

Rep. Alan Williams: time. Issues that are impacting men in our community need to be
addressed and I’m honored to be part of the solution. Inside this issue, you
Speaks on Rally / pg 23 will find stories on men that have stepped forth and sought change in their
Ken Scrubbs: Man on a Mission / pg 26 environment. This issue also features information on health, employment
Markey Rivers: and health advice. There’s so much to be excited about this August and
we at Lifeline are excited about taking part in helping men move forward.
A League of His Own / pg 28

The Gantt Report / pg 31 Lifeline magazine and the 1000 Men Rally...Together we are connecting
the community to LIFE!
