A Call For Change

In October 2010, the Council of the Great City Schools released a major report on the academic status of African American males, A Call for Change: The Social and Educational Factors Contributing to the Outcomes of Black Males in Urban Schools. The Council then commissioned a series of solution briefs from some of the nation’s leading scholars and experts to help it think through an effective set of strategies to address the academic needs of African American males. This e-book is a compilation of those papers.
