Too Important to FailThe WGBY Video Lending Library has an important new video: Too Important to Fail: Saving America’s Boys. This program takes a clear-eyed look at the challenges facing African American teenage boys as they navigate their way to adulthood. With the high school dropout rate among black boys approaching 50%, this program examines toe obstacles these boys confront and puts a very human face on the statistics.  The video provides a roadmap for what can be done to provide all teens with the tools they need to succeed. The video, which runs 60 minutes, was produced by Tavis Smiley Reports. Click here for access to the library.
