Evangelist ET just sent me a heart warming article which can be found HERE. I hope that you read every word of it, as it’s worth it.
Check this out:
On Friday, Alexander proudly swapped his high school’s red uniform tie for a striped red and gold one — the ritual at Englewood’s Urban Prep Academy for Young Men that signifies a student has been accepted into college.
As the Roseland resident and 12 others tied their knots, Chicago’s only public all-male, all-African-American high school fulfilled its mission: 100 percent of its first senior class had been accepted to four-year colleges.
That is just a small sample of what is 100% possible in every community and particularly in black communities since we have such a huge drop out rate amongst black males who end up in jail, selling drugs, or dead.
Even more stunning is this statistic about the students when they initially enrolled in that school:
Only 4 percent of this year’s senior class read at grade level as freshmen, said Tim King, the school’s founder and CEO.
“There were those who told me that you can’t defy the data,” King said. “Black boys are killed. Black boys drop out of high school. Black boys go to jail. Black boys don’t go to college. Black boys don’t graduate from college.
“They were wrong,” he said.
This can be replicated. We don’t have to have illiterate criminal thugs roaming our streets. How about we find out the formula in that Chicago school and simply replicate?
