For the 13th consecutive year 100% of @UrbanPrep grads have been admitted to college. I couldn’t be prouder of these young Black men or more grateful to the village that raised, taught & supported them along the way. #WeBelieve #100PercentIndomitable

My OpEd in the @chicagotribune on the impact school closures have on Black boys. As with the wars on drugs & crime, if we aren’t careful, Black males will pay a disproportionately higher price for this battle against COVID-19. @UrbanPrep #WeBelieve chicagotribune.com/opinion/c…

The amazing @DrWillieWilson visited @UrbanPrep today. Such an inspiring story!!! He said ppl may make fun of the way he talks but it doesn’t matter because he’s the one who signs the front of the check while they’re signing the back. And the crowd went wild! #WeBelieve – at Chicago, IL
