UCLA Black Male Institute releases new report on Black and Latino males
Tyrone Howard and a team of researchers from the UCLA Black Male Institute (www.blackmaleinstitute.org) released the findings of a two-year study chronicling the success of Black and Latino males in Los Angeles County. Documenting interviews from over 200 high school students, who reframe and redefine success in their schools, homes, and communities, Howard and his colleagues have conducted and published new research – The Counter Narrative Project that goes beyond a compilation and analysis of negative data points, to explore and highlight the success of young Black and Latino males in Los Angeles County.
“The Counter Narrative will become an indispensable statement for all to ponder and, at the same time, a tool for moving the needle from fatalism and despair to engagement and excellence.”
–Marcelo M. Suarez-Orozco
