Good Morning. I hope that you are enjoying this weekend with family and friends.

I believe that Forever FLOTUS can be credited for making these College Signing Days a big deal.

I love that Urban Prep Academy does theirs DOWNTOWN IN DALEY PLAZA.

The visual of these well-dressed young Black Men, standing up and talking about what COLLEGE they will be attending..

These young men are HERE and they are contributing to the world, and they smash against every sterotype that this country wallows in when it comes to Black men.
