Nikki Giovanni's "Because" - A T Short #29 (1080p HD)

As many as 3.5 million Americans are homeless each year. Of these, more than 1 million are children. In fact, The Center for American Progress estimates that GLBT youth account for 20-40 percent of homeless youth in the US because families are banishing their GLBT children as they come out younger and younger; the report finds, the average age that a GLBT youth becomes homeless is 14.4 years old, and on any given night, more than 300,000 children are homeless.

If you have been the victim of hate, of any kind, it is not your fault. Please do not suffer in silence because there are people who can help: http://www.stophate.us/links.html

Video number twenty-nine in the A T Short series: Nikki Giovanni reads her poem "Because." Each A T Short has its own message (sometimes two: one musical and one visual), and because each A T Short video has a different message, you may not like all of them, but you will like enough of them.
