The challenges facing Black men are more diverse and no less complex than those facing our highest-need communities; therefore, government, at all levels, can and must play a leading role in providing comprehensive solutions and doing so at scale. If for no other reason, this is true because education, while a partial solution, has always provided the clearest path out of poverty and to opportunity, self sufficiency and empowerment (even when the playing field was (is) not level). Therefore, the success of any plan to win the war for Black men and boys rests on ensuring each of us has access to quality education and training from the cradle through college and career. | Tavis Smiley
