Mike
Long was the first of several speakers at the Reality Check '98
Chicago Youth Rally put on by Project Reality and the Chicago
Public School System Nov. 17, 1998. 8000 Chicago teenagers were
bused in from all over the city. They loudly applauded the abstinence
message at the Univ. of Illinois Pavilion for the 2 hr. presentation.
Former Univ. of NC basketball Coach Dean Smith introduced Long
by way of video tape on 2 gigantic video screens. Long challenged
these teens to make smart, healthy choices in life by teaching
them what it means to be responsible and mature. He was followed
by NBA basketball star AC Green, actress/singer Lakita Garth,
NFL Hall of Famer Mike Singletary, abstinence speaker Pat Socia,
several Chicago Bears football players, rap bands, actors, and
dancers. "We rocked Chicago with a clear and healthy message,"
Long said. "These kids will never forget this as long as they
live. We look forward to doing more of these in other cities across
the country!"
Abstinence
educator and speaker Mike Long delivered a challenging and encouraging
message to 800 African American high school students at Booker
T. Washington High School in Tuskegee, AL this past October. Interrupted
4 times with applause and a standing ovation at the end of his
talk, Long empowered these teens to be completely free of the
negative consequences many face who choose to be sexually active.
"These kids are fed up with the low expectations many place on
them because of their race or family situation," Long said in
a TV interview following the assembly. "Approximately 70% of African
American teens live in single parent homes. Therefore, many educators
believe they will not favorably receive an abstinence until marriage
message. Their response here today proves the contrary."
NC
Family Policy Council Executive Director Bill Brooks conducted
10 "Power of Abstinence Medical Seminars" throughout the state
of NC. Mike Long was the featured speaker along with medical doctors
presenting a powerful message to school administrators and health
professionals on the terrible consequences of sexually transmitted
diseases.
