The Black Star Project
The last post was uncited because I received its contents from an email I received. But I now know who the author is, and what he’s doing. Phillip Jackson is the Executive Director of The Black Star Project. Although as I noted in a response to him I think his analysis AND prescriptions are off in some really important ways, at least on first glance his project is one worth supporting and perhaps duplicating.

Mr. Jackson is a genuine black man trying to do positive things in the city of Chicago. Black Men Read is a program he’s been working with and encouraging more and more black men to stop by some of the poor schools and read to the young children. It may sound corny, but it has been getting quite a few men to do this.
