FYI!
If you are an educator of at least one Black male or simply have an interest in the plight of the Black male, this document is a "must read" and "must study!" The numbers are staggering relative to education. Interestingly enough, the data categorizes Newark, NJ, the city (not the district) where I work as one best in the country relative to the dropout rate. Moreover, the State of NJ is categorized as one of the best in the country for the same reason. Again, interesting.
I encourage all who receive this report to read and study it thoroughly and to circulate widely.
Following are the links. The first is the Executive Summary. The others are The Inequality Index and the National Summary.

Omar Shakur,
P.S. The Ancient Kemit's had a writing on their walls it said, "Man Know Thy Self". The Kemits were the Egyptians.
