The Great 28: Black Charlotteans who are shaping Charlotte
by QCity Metro February 22, 2021
This Black History Month, QCity Metro is celebrating Black excellence by acknowledging Charlotte residents who have used their power, platforms and influence to make our city a better place.
In our first edition of The Great 28, we pay homage to local entrepreneurs, educators, activists, nonprofit executives, government employees and even a high school student.
Mongai Fankam, a high school senior, is making waves globally. No BackPack Day is a day when American youth are asked to go to school without their backpacks, carrying all their books and supplies in their hands or in plastic bags to raise awareness of the millions of students around the world who walk miles to school without a backpack because they cannot afford one.
