RICHMOND —
The African-American Male Mentoring Program (AAMMP) associated with the Madison County Schools continues to move forward with regular meetings and distinguished guest speakers.
November's guest speaker was David Townsend, a graduate of Eastern Kentucky University, and former football player.
