Kendall Qualls: TakeCharge Minnesota

Kendall Qualls is President of TakeCharge Minnesota, a new organization committed to countering the prevailing narrative in popular culture that America is structured to undermine the lives of black Americans. Kendall Qualls will lead TakeCharge with the objective to inspire and educate the black community and other minority groups in the Twin Cities to take charge of their own lives, the lives of the families and communities as citizens fully granted to them in the Constitution. TakeCharge also denounces the idea that the country is guilty of systemic racism, white privilege and abhors the concept of identity politics and the promotion of victimhood in minority communities. The promise of America is open and available to all individuals regardless of skin color or station in life.
Mr. Qualls has been married to his wife, Sheila for 35 years and they have five children together. He was a mentor at Minnesota Adult & Teen Challenge. He serves on the Board for Lundstrum's Performing Arts Center in North Minneapolis as well as Hope Farm School, a school for at-risk boys from Minneapolis.
