We are heartbroken to announce the passing of Tyler Lawrence, a budding student and a loving friend to everyone around him.  Tyler had a passion for learning and a desire to make a difference in the world.  Tyler was Aspiring to become a Proud Black Man and Striving for Excellence every day! In honor of his life, the Concerned Black Men of MA, the Paul Robeson Institute, in conjunction with the Lawrence family, have established the “Tyler Lawrence Legacy Scholarship Fund” to help fund educational dreams (tuition, books, academic travel) and enrichment programs (summer camps, gap-year projects, community service, etc.) for deserving youth (6th -12th grade).
