Reframing Deficit Discourses about Black Youth and the Pittsburgh Schools that Educate Them
(CUE) — Using data from the New York City Black and Latino Male High School Achievement Study, guest speaker Shaun Harper will confront hopeless, one-sided mischaracterizations of urban schools and the young men of color who attend them. He will present powerful examples of how 40 traditional high schools fostered cultures that bolstered achievement and college readiness among 41 young men.
