Keep it up, dads, moms, community members, and EDUCATORS! Everyone should have tremendous childhoods where their talents are recognized, where they're exposed to their many options in life, and where they're prepared for the future! Keep it up, Urban Prep.

Why Isn't this on the 10:00 news???????

Its not on the news because its not newsworthy. The media doesnt care about black positivity. Now if it was a statistic in the school that these black boys were criminals, THAT would be something to report.

In working with urban students in NYC, I know that young black males have been marginalized and sentenced to failure at the age of 8. Students who are brought up in a harsh reality are still children, trembling at heart, desiring love and guidance. Reading the article that lead me to this post and watching the convocation brought tears to my eyes.
