OSF publishes Campaign for Black Male Achievement Impact Index

A new report published by the Open Society Foundations provides a summary of the accomplishments of the Open Society Campaign for Black Male Achievement since its inception in 2008. It contains the rationale for developing the campaign, a breakdown of its grantmaking goals and strategies, various collaborations that have been created, and descriptions of grantees in each key strategy area. The result is a publication that targets a variety of networks including funding partners, with the hope of leveraging more money to the black male achievement field.

As Gil Scott Heron, once said in referring to a pardon given to the criminal President, Richard Nixon, "Said they're going to slap his wrists, gonna' retire him with $850,000...And America was "shocked"...America leads the world in shocks. Unfortunately, America does not lead the world in deciphering the cause of shock".
