Quotations from the audience:



"This woman may have turned the tide of the human rights battle for the dignity and honor or Black and Brown convicts, ex-felons and formerly incarcerated individuals.  Because of her, they have hope!  And because they have hope, we have hope!"
"I cried as she was speaking.  She was right.  And we all knew it."
"I have never been to a lecture like this. I learned that much of what the government had told us about crime, drug use and violence was a lie.  They did it to lock up Black men!"

Parents are invited to bring elementary school boys to this session to help prepare their Black male students for college with Project 5000 



With the global competition for employment in 2010, graduating from high school Is not enough!  Graduating from college is not enough!!  More and more Americans with college degrees are having difficulty getting jobs because they don't understand that in 2010, education, by itself, is not enough. You must become a life-long learner to exist!  The old rules of education are out the window and the new era of "educate or die" is upon us! 



Black males and females elementary and high school students are invited to learn about college success through:



The Black Star Project's
