Sidney Keys created Books N Bros to inspire other young African American boys to read and learn their history.Sidney Keys III told"Good Morning America" that his idea to create Books N Bros was born from his own setbacks and struggles.
He said he wanted to start up Books N Bros"so that I could talk to other people, and especially boys, about books that I love to read because it's like a brotherhood."The reading club that he started at just 10 years old, with the help of his mom Winnie Caldwell, now has over 250"bros" ages 7 to 13 from all over the U.S. and Canada.
Marvel's Hero Project, which takes young men across the country who make positive changes in their communities and turns them into superheroes, selected Keys to be featured in the Disney+ series. "I always wanted to read books that had characters that looked like me but I never thought that I'd see a comic book with me in it," Keys said, beaming with excitement."It's really awesome, especially the reaction from my friends and teachers all call me my superhero name at school."As for the future of Books N Bros, Keys and his mom hope to expand the program's reach throughout the country.
