Helping Black Men Graduate from College
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Here’s a story about a program at a Georgia college to keep their black male students on track. The students are living together in a part of their dorm, so they will have each other for support.
The reasons so few black males make it to college are varied and complicated, but the outcome is stark when you drive past a bus stop at UGA. You see mostly white women, some white men, a few black women and most likely not a single black male.
Will a program like this, focused on support, help keep these students in college? What else can be done to help more black men graduate with college degrees?
