Thank you for posting this. I highlighted Dr. Dean for Black History Month this year at my church. It was amazing that so many people didn’t know this Black History fact. I wanted our young people to know that regardless of all of the negative steroeotypes that are portrayed of our people that there are many who are making positive conttributions in society. Again, thanks for this informative post!

Yay for Clutch. I am so glad you guys are highlighting modern black intellectual and academic achievements. BET can talk forever about Lil Kim’s run in with the law but would never run a story about Dr. Dean. Several black kids are also named Presidential scholars each year. These are black youth who get perfect scores on their SAT’s and are athletically inclined. We never hear about them. There are also several black Rhodes scholars. If you guys could find them and highlight them, that would be so great. If we leave it up to the racist media, it’ll never happen. The only images of blacks they want the world exposed to are negative.

I was shocked when I got a forwarded email about this…no one ever told me this and of course no one learns this in school…it’s amazing.
