Alfred “Fredo” Robertson is president of Know Your Roots (KYR), a student organization dedicated to connecting Black history with current world issues to empower and educate. He learned about KYR as a freshman, committed to a double major in Africana studies and mass media communications and found his voice. Alfred is an accomplished and inspirational speaker, musician and collaborator. He’s performed at past Afro Essence events and will co-chair this year’s celebration of Black consciousness and unity beginning at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 25 via Webex.
