Biography
Christopher 2X, formerly Christopher Anthony Bryant, is a community activist in Louisville, Kentucky.
Christopher is a former drug trafficker and had served seven years in prison before being released in 1999. Later, 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.
In 2018, Christopher, along with Stevonte Wood, started a new effort called "invisible kids" - children who have not been physically hurt by gun violence, but emotionally wounded. To launch the project, Christopher formed a new organization called The Peace Centered Alliance.
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 murders in the city if the victim's family requests it.
