[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2015/07/14/at-this-low-income-brooklyn-public-high-school-100-percent-of-black-students-graduate This is for those of you who continue asking what black people are doing to "fix the problems" in the black community. Once again, it's happening all over the place, via grassroots efforts. This school isn't new, it's been around since 1986 and the story isn't even new, but it is a "mainstream publication" since that matters so much to some of you. [/quote] +1. Thanks for sharing! And like you implied, that those of us who work, live and volunteer in these communities know dozens of stories like this - schools like Urban Prep in Chicago and the Jalen Rose Academy in Detroit. I wish that "mainstream media" focused as much on stories like this as they do other things within our communities. Maybe then, some armchair pundits on DCUM and other places would see the truth.
