Education Reform Atop Agenda for Morehouse Summit - Higher Education

Education Reform Atop Agenda for Morehouse Summit - Higher Education: The White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans is teaming up this week with the Morehouse Research Institute to sponsor the Black Male Summit, which will coincide with the inauguration of Morehouse President Dr. John Silvanus Wilson Jr.

The summit will focus on education reform, according to Dr. Bryant Marks, executive director of the Morehouse Research Institute and an associate professor of psychology.

“We want to raise awareness about the factors of Black male achievement from Pre-K through college by shining a specific light on education reform,” says Marks, who is also an alumnus of the historically Black college headquartered in Atlanta. “We are taking a pipeline approach.”
