Nationwide — This year the United States marks 152 years since the ratification of the 14th Amendment, and for African Americans, this Reconstruction Act was a watershed moment, which laid the framework, although hugely imperfect, for a legal basis for citizenship grounded in equal protection and, in theory, the right to own and travel on a passport.
The HayesXchange Founders, Calvin Hayes and Kindall Hayes, have launched this podcast to implore listeners to exercise their constitutional right to own a passport and for African American students to prioritize studying and interning abroad.
For Black American, full-time high school or university students enrolled in a four-year institution in the state of Florida, they can apply for a scholarship to cover the fees for their passport application at HayesXchange.com/passportinitiative.
