Nationwide - A high degree of social capital is one the greatest predictors of youth labor market participation and success. Edward DeJesus, a national youth workforce development expert, is sending this message out loud and clear in his new book entitled Making Connections Work (available at www.socialcapitalbuilders.com).
"Workforce programs focus mainly on increasing skills and credentials without helping youth develop the necessary social capital that could help put these achievements to work," states DeJesus. "By helping youth build social capital, workforce programs are creating the conditions necessary for development of skills, mature work ethics, and a sense of hope needed for students' long-term labor market success."

-------
“Rolling back federal requirements to provide no-cost birth control to women covered by employer-sponsored insurance plans is another move by this administration to seriously undermine the rights of women in the United States.
Impeding access to birth control directly targets more than 55 million women across the country, and avoidance of a formal review before unilaterally imposing such a catastrophic change risks the health and safety of too many of them. Trump and his administration are acting contrary to the public interest and are yet again setting this country back decades.

See Why NY State Senator James Sanders Wants Dove To Raise Its Marketing Game To Black Consumers

Here we go again. Dove, a company that produces products aimed at supposedly improving the look and condition of skin has besmirched black people about their skin with racist advertising.
Dove posted on Facebook a series of four photos demonstrating a black woman pulling a brown shirt over her head and turning into a smiling white woman looking smug with satisfaction. It seemed to imply that with Dove products one could change their skin color as easily as removing a shirt. The problem is it equates black skin with something dirty, something that needs to be cleaned and made better, and that black people want to be white.
The company later tweeted that it had “missed the mark,” and the ad has since been removed.

Larry Davis is on a mission. He's compelled to transform the education system to be more successful educating Black children. He's tired of lackluster success of many school systems what fail to help Black children excel in their academic endeavors.
The challenges African American children face in the school system are thoroughly documented. We know how the educational system fails many African American students, and we know why. Despite this, little has been done to address and fix these issues. Thus, the problem persists.
It’s time to stop merely considering the problem and start actively working toward a solution-for the betterment of students, educators, and the nation. In his recent book, entitled "The Re-education of the African American Child," veteran educator Larry D. Davis proposes a systematic, step-by-step approach to transforming how we educate African American children.
