What are the conditions for success for 3 million black kids ages 10-13 in public school today? African American students are consistently struggling to overcome systemic problems inherent in broken systems that influence and impact them daily: family, schools and churches. As innocent victims of adult systemic biases, these kids seek brighter futures. But how can we help? Here's food for thought.

There are 3 million black students
ages 10 - 13 who are innocent of
any crimes. They aspire to pursue
their dreams in the Land of
Opportunity.
YEAR 2025
In a decade today's 3 million black
5-8 graders will be ages 20 - 23.
Of those, 1 million will have
criminal records unless we disrupt
this cycle today.
