With all the bad news coming out of Chicago lets not forget those young black males who are blessed to be in good environments and enlightened enough to take advantage of it.
Urban Prep Academy mission is to provide a comprehensive, high-quality college-preparatory education to young men that results in graduates succeeding in college.
In addition to Urban Prep Academies, Providence (Chicago) and Capital Prep in Hartford, Connecticut with Steve Perry that was highlighted in CNN's Black in America 2 there are other schools around the country, such as Jack Perry's Prestige Academy in Delaware for boys in grades 5-8.
All these schools, and we can add Geoffrey Canada of Harlem Children's Zone in the mix, were started by people not departments, states, cities or politicians. Shaun Murphy, who teaches at Prestige Academy, will make a difference too.

Good News Tuesday! This is an inspiration for those of us that want our schools to work. Thank you for sharing it with us!

These schools need to be replicated all around the country.
This is a good move, Like to see more of these, especially in Atlanta, there seems to be a culture of not finishing HS down here.
We need to change the way we go about education in this country.
