Mr. Martin says that one of the most important positive aspects of his development into the man he became was BOTSO (Brothers Organized to Save Others).

​

He says, “The men in BOTSO were like a team of fathers to me and the other boys in the program. They took us on field trips and made sure that we understood the logistics of growing up as a Black man in America and that we knew how important it was to go to school and get a good education. I want to do that for my generation and the next generation of Black men.”
