Do Black Minds Matter, Too?
- Years ago, I met an 11 year old Black male student who lived in the heart of Watts, a neighborhood in Los Angeles known as one of America's poorest communities. He asked me if he could apply for a student leadership program I developed for promising students in urban schools. I told him sure—but he'd have to interview like all the other participants. I asked him to bring an object that represented him as an individual and to prepare to present it.
