A new publication, Being Black is Not a Risk Factor, has been published by the Milwaukee Black Child Development Institute (BCDI).

Here is a summary from BCDI’s press release:
“Similar to the national report, the goal of the Wisconsin report is to provide data-rich information on how our children are doing, and to address the needs of state policymakers, principals, teachers, parents and others by highlighting successful programs and policies; identifying cutting-edge research about Black children’s strengths; and developing recommendations for a future research and policy agenda.”
I was pleased to provide one of the essays in the reports, focusing on the positive efforts of YoungStar and Milwaukee Succeeds.
