==History==
The Marcus Graham Project started as a seed planted in the mind of one of its founders, Lincoln Stephens. The program is titled after Eddie Murphy's Marketing Executive character in the cinematic film Boomerang. As he prepared to graduate college from The University of Missouri-Columbia it was suggested that he start a network of diverse professionals in the advertising industry. Stephens kept this in mind as he began his career, noticing that in the agencies where he worked he was one of the only African American males in the company. It was during the summer of 2007 while working for Carol H. Williams Advertising in Chicago that Lincoln began to write out this vision, which included an online social networking site.
In November 2008 after watching the election of America's first African-American president, Barack Obama, Stephens and several colleagues including Larry L. Yarrell II, George A. Peters II, Benny L. Walk and Jon Goff asked one another, what they will do to create change in our country. They're answer was to begin to put they're dreams in motion. Stephens immediately quit his job in Chicago and moved back to his hometown of Dallas to bring his idea to fruition. Stephens began to gain community support to pilot the iCR8 Bootcamp, Sound Bite, and GO Fund programs.
In the summer of 2009 Stephens had garnered enough community support to pilot MGP's first Bootcamp. The Bootcamp developed into a 10-week program put in place to gather, train, and hone the skills of ethnic males with a passion for advertising and marketing. The 7 2009 bootcamp members gained much attention while working with ''Project 7'', ''Broccoli City'', WFAA 8, and other environmentally conscious companies. The program has earned a considerable amount of media recognition having been featured in Advertising Age, Black Enterprise, and Ebony magazines for its initiatives. In June 2010 The Marcus Graham Project was granted 501(c) 3 status . Because of the 2009 bootcamp's success a plethora of industry wide support was thrown behind the 2010 bootcamp, which is currently working with clients such as AT&T, and Globe aware.
