Mogien “Mo” Boyd is the new Executive Director of the African American Commission.

He is a native Nebraskan and has a degree in history from UNL and a master’s degree

in organizational leadership from Bellevue University. This Commission was created to

help advance public policy for African Americans in Nebraska. Over the years, there

have been many challenges dealing with legislative issues, and for the most part,

Senator Chambers was that connection to keep our interests front and center. Mo is

tasked with helping to implement the new strategic plan, which guides the work of the

Commission and African Americans in these trying times. They provide a state

legislative update to help more folks advance our communities in Nebraska. We will

explore how others, individuals, nonprofits, and people of goodwill can help African

Americans statewide to advance tangible outcomes and meaningful tasks that will both

increase state pride and offer transformation for the quality of life for African Americans

in Nebraska.
