Christopher 2X
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christopher 2X, formerly Christopher Anthony Bryant, is a community activist in Louisville, Kentucky. A former drug trafficker, 2X spent 7 years in prison before being released in 1999. Shortly thereafter, he joined the Nation of Islam temple in Louisville and changed his name to 2X. Since then, he has dedicated much of his time to community outreach programs in Louisville, especially in the West End.
2X is most known for providing emotional and social support for many West End teenagers after the Michael Newby murder trial in which the jury found the defendant, a Louisville police officer, not guilty. He holds a weekly youth group, "The War Zone," at the Urban Learning Center in Louisville. He also leads vigils after each murder in the city.
