Historically Black College& University Showcase

Yesterday was an amazing day!!  I wish more white people would have shown up just to see this event, it would have answered a lot of questions and clear alot of theories about people of color.  You will see how many black students/professionals showed up and not only took the information but were entertained by the bands and step teams.   So, how is it that the achievement gap is still so wide?---Do they want to close it or is it employing enough folk and drawing in enough money to where if it was fixed people would start losing some pretty important jobs?  As you can see WE showed up and represented starving for information.  Doesnt look like anyone is wanting to recieve a handout either huh?!  I would have done ANYTHING to have been exposed to this world growing up!!!
