President Barack Obama gestures while speaking in the East Room of the White House in Washington, Thursday, Feb. 27, 2014, to promote his "My Brother's Keeper" initiative. Joined at the White House by young men of color, Obama on Thursday was calling on America's businesses, philanthropists and government leaders to join forces to put more boys on a path toward successful lives. Foundations were to announce pledges to spend at least $200 million over five years to promote that goal as Obama launches his "My Brother's Keeper" initiative. (AP Photo/ Evan Vucci)
