Just had to post this thread about what should be central to all African Americans because it is so important to our future as a community and families-education. Plus Kenneth needs to stop lying that Black women are in the club, getting tatts, out of control and need to lift their game.
This year out of the 32 American winners of the Rhodes Scholarship, 3 are African American women.In 1978 Karen Stevenson of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill was the first African-American woman selected as a Rhodes Scholar. Susan Rice is also a former Rhodes scholar. This year, three African American women were among this year’s group of Rhodes Scholars.
Joy A. Buolamwini is a graduate of the Georgia Institute of Technology, where she majored in computer science. She is currently working at the Carter Center in Atlanta. She has founded or co-founded three businesses. She plans on a degree in African studies at Oxford.

Rhiana E. Gunn-Wright is a 2011 graduate of Yale University. She holds a bachelor’s degree in African American studies and women’s, gender, and sexuality studies. She has been working at Women’s Policy Research in Washington, D.C. Her plan is to obtain a master’s degree in comparative social policy at Oxford.

Nina M. Yancy is a senior at Harvard University where she majors in social studies. Yancy grew up in the Dallas area but her family recently moved to Chicago. Yancy has had internships at CNN, the Center for American Political Studies and in the British House of Commons. She is a member of the Harvard Ballet Company. She plans on pursuing a master’s degree in global health science as a Rhodes Scholar.

Congratulations to all the Black people succeeding in education and working hard to do better themselves. Keep uptodate with all the Black success in education.

When I was in college, I got a 'minor' in women's sexuality studies too!

Kenneth/Marcus/miami/nevergiveup/damn right/chicago/hood boy has just posted this comment.

"It's time for black women to grow up and take responsibility for their actions"

I wonder why he wants to keep pretending that most black women are doing bad things when most are working women, going to college and getting an education.

Good question.

Great accomplishments though.

I do love the drama on this board, but no one wants to hear that all the time so nice thread.

Education is an area where black people with money need to put their resources. Obama has introduced more help to HBC and for grants and Black women are now graduating in record numbers but more needs to be done.
