Interview: Connecticut Man Working To Change Alarming Trend For Black Men

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- The NAACP is issuing a dire warning for African-American males.

The civil rights organization says one in three black men born today can expect to spend time in prison during his lifetime.

One man from Connecticut is trying to change that trend with a national program designed to uplift, empower and motivate young men of color.

Brandon Frame, founder of The Black Man Can Institute, joined CBS2's Andrea Grymes to talk about his movement.
