It is sad in today's society that there are still very few mainstream images of Black Excellence; specifically from that of the Afro-American Male. Therefore, we ourselves have to show HOW GREAT WE ACTUALL ARE. Anyway, we the Brown Brother love to celebrate and share Afro-American Excellence. Therefore, if you follow the blog you know we like to highlight the amazing work and accomplishments "WE" as a people make. Today, I want to highlight a excellent school that his transformed the lives of countless Young Brown Brothers. This school is producing the next generation of African-American Excellence and Leadership.
Established in 2002, Urban Prep Academies is a non-profit organization that runs a free open-enrollment all-male "college-preparatory" High-School in Chicago for Young Brothers of Color. Urban Prep was the first ever to operate to all-male public charter high school in the United States. The network opened a second campus in 2009 and a third in August 2010.
What makes Urban Prep so amazing the effort that they make to insure the Power, Torch, and Life of the next generation Brown Male does not die in the trap or fire that is our Society/environment in today's world. Phenomenally, for the 6th consecutive year; Urban Prep has had a 100 percent graduation rate. Just as amazing, all graduating senior got accepted and will attend college. In the last six years no other Chicago high school, public or private, have been able to do what Urban Prep Academy High School has done maintaining a 100 percent college acceptance rate. Additionally, the all graduates were African-American Males.
During this year's graduation all 260 Senior were accepted to 4-Year Colleges and Universities. With this years graduation included, Urban Prep has sent over more than 1,000 African-American Males to college. Many of which come from under-preforming schools, oppressed as well as proverty stricken neighborhoods, the violent-Chicago streets, and single parent households. This is one of the reasons, I believe Urban Prep is so great; they are actively and accurately changing the narrative as well as stereotypes. They are showing Young Brothers, that they don't have to be a product of their oppressed surroundings. They are trying to destroy the school-to-prison pipeline. They are actively saving Young Brothers from the trap that the oppressor has set for "US".
In closing, I have never seen such an amazing and successful avenue for Young Brothers to succeed like the Urban Prep Academies. Every Brother and Sister in American needs to know about them and needs to help support Urban Prep.
