WHAT CAN I DO TO CHANGE A YOUNG PERSONS MIND FROM SUICIDE
"Hello Brother Dorsett: Good to receive your comments on the pageant. How are you doing these days? The Mr. PVAMU Pageant was the impetus for me to start the Mr. Collegiate Pageant. I helped to enhance the Mr. PVAMU Pageant back in 1986 and it is going strong today. Incidentally, I am the coach and mentor for Malcolm."
