In the U.S. alone, more than 21 million children are growing up in a household with only one parent. Among black children, it's slightly more than 48 percent. There is a need for black men and women to step up and become the "village" that raises black children. We can do that by volunteering to mentor. Roland Martin talks with Joshua Dubois, executive director of the White House Office of Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, who's here with his "little brother," Aidid Brayboy; and Mark Tillman, president of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated and more.
