Fathers were out in full force Sunday in a march that aims to change the stereotype around Black fatherhood.
The Bronx's very own Fat Joe joined the event to amplify the message that Black fathers are present in their children's lives.

The march was put together by The Dad Gang, an organization started in 2016 that celebrates Black fatherhood and gives them a safe space to find support.
Founder Sean Willians says he's hoping his platform will set an example for his children.
The group marched from Grand Army Plaza to the Brooklyn Museum. Organizers say they want the event to spread to the rest of the city.
