Beyond the Bricks is in the Community Spotlight

At the 2010 Congressional Black Caucus, I had an opportunity to preview “Beyond the Bricks,” a documentary film project that explores and elevates the challenges associated with the academic achievement of African American males. The film looks at the issues associated with school failure and dropout rates, and what is needed to stop the cycle of failure among our boys. The documentary includes the voices of two young men, as well those of experts, including Pedro Noguerra, Ivory Toldson, and John Jackson. The film is a strong call to action for anyone committed to quality education for all children. Check out Beyond the Bricks. You will feel called to engage.
