Good News

A day doesn’t go by when without news about young black men being killed or locked up. But here’s some good news out of Chicago: the entire senior class of Chicago’s Urban Prep Academy for Young Men has been accepted to college. You won’t hear about these intelligent young brothas in the mainstream press because it’s not a negative story about black men.
It’s great to see kids like the students of Urban Prep Academy achieving their goals.

It is good to see that these men and their families seize the educational opportunities in this country. I hope Detroit can change the educational system in that city.

Refreshing.....yes these young men will not receive national news coverage, but trust and believe, if the entire class failed, it would have been headlines!!! I congratulate each one of them.
