FIRST PERSON TO TEACH 100,000 BLACK AND BROWN KIDS TO PLAY CHESS ANNOUNCES TWO TRAINING EVENTS IN ATLANTA
Orrin “Checkmate” Hudson, Founder of Be Someone, is the first person to have taught 100,000 Black and Brown kids to play chess. To further his mission, this summer, he is planning two upcoming training events in the Atlanta area to teach even more young people of color.
Here are the details about both events:
• May 23-27, 2024 from 6pm to 8pm: Hudson is hosting a free event and bringing his life-sized chess board to the downtown Atlanta Hilton Hotel. Instead of celebrating his birthday during the Memorial Day weekend, he plans to empower young people by teaching them through the game of chess how to make strategic moves. Beginners, those who have always wanted to learn to play chess and experienced players are invited to drop in. There will be prizes and giveaways at this fun event.
