HOUSTON TEXAS NEWSPAPER ARTICLE IN 2003 RE SCHOOL IS GOOD FOR BLACK CHILDREN

Hello.

I believe that your article is:

"Where's black leadership on education?"

Houston Chronicle, Dec. 29, 2002

The article matches your description since its main point is that
school is good for black children. For example, in the second
paragraph, the author states:

"What black America needs is a movement devoted to the cause of
educational excellence for all black children, a course of action
modeled on the civil rights movement to fire the national imagination
and create the expectation that every black child will be a
well-educated child."
