WASHINGTON Cheap Off White Nike Vapormax Black White UK , May 4 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Barack Obama on Monday announced the launch of a new non-profit foundation intended to offer more opportunities to young minority men amid continued heated national debates about racial relations following the death of 25-year-old African-American Freddie Gray.

"Those opportunity gaps begin early, often at birth, and they compound over time Cheap Nike Air Max 97 UL '17 SE Black UK , becoming harder and harder to bridge, making too many young men and women feel like no matter how hard they try, they may never achieve their dreams."

The sense of unfairness and powerlessness, of people not hearing their voices Cheap Nike Air Max 97 Retro Men's Gold UK , said Obama, helped fuel some of the protests in places like Baltimore and Ferguson and other cities around the United States.


The city of Baltimore witnessed a widespread of protests, sometimes uncontrolled ones, in the past two weeks due to the death of Gray, who died of a deadly spinal cord injury sustained during police custody.


Maryland state attorney for Baltimore City Marilyn Mosby said Friday that charges would be filed against all six Baltimore police officers involved in the Gray's death Cheap Nike Air Max 97 OG Undefeated Black Red UK , which was ruled by medical examiner as a homicide.
