The Brothers for Life organization started as a dream of a few, and is
now being realized by many. Here is our dream, the realization of it and
the history that is
      We, The Brothers For Life Organization, were
founded on the 19th Day of December, in the nineteen hundredth and ninety-third
year of our Lord on the footsteps of an incredible journey into manhood.
Our founders are none other than the charismatic David Allen Bell, Kevin
DeShaun Hollis, and Reginald Arthur Rieder. Founded on the principle that
together we can achieve but divided we would become victims of the adverse
society in which encompass our lives; Stricken and bound by the limitations
of our mind and that of the pessimistic world whom as already deemed us
inferior and obsolete. It was not by coincidence nor by convenience that
this organization was founded but out of circumstance. Our founders saw
a need to align themselves with others who had a desire to redefine the
odds and walk in the purpose in which God had ordained them. They realized
that if they took this journey alone one false step or miscalculation
in an unforgiving society could cost them their dreams and more importantly
their spiritual salvation.
      As you know Brothers For Life legacy does
not end with the three founding members but has grown into a powerfully
designed group of educated men, a far distant cry from the boys who begun
the journey. Our founding principle has not changed but instead has been
further engraved in the hearts of the ones who names have faded into the
background and are now called simply "Brother".
     As the years passed, the family has grown. What started at Dwight Rich Middle
School, and matured at J.W. Sexton H.S has come full circle. Many members
have started families, even a greater number have graduated from a higher
education institution and some are at the brink of prosperity in their
respective careers.
      Our history is not that of a Cinderella
story, but has seen and endured the roller coasters of life. The miles
that have separated us for many years along with the trials and tribulations
of our individual lives should have broken us, separated us, and even
destroyed us, but through our faith in God and our faith in each other
we have sustained and proved ourselves conquerors.
