I think sweeping education reform, for the time being, should come from individuals or private groups instead of the government. Public education is nowhere near improving right now. I think groups such our organizations and wealthy individuals should put the time, money, and man/womanpower into educationing the young ones. For example, how how would it be if we had the NPHC Academy? It could be a private school for African-American youth that starts at the elementary level and goes to high school. We could even have our own private school system (cuz one school is not going to do it). I'm not sure how much money it would take achieve such a goal but there is no doubt in my mind that between our nine organizations we could get it done within ten years. We have the tools, we just need to do it.
