As you walk the campuses of colleges and universities, it is evident that there are more young Black females strolling around the campus. Young Black males are not attending, or graduating from college at the same rate as Black females. Marjorie Valbrun of America’s Wire says, “The national college graduation rate for Black men is 33.1 percent compared with 44.8 percent for Black women, according to the U.S. Department of Education. While this troubling trend is most acute among Blacks, young men of color in general are underrepresented in colleges and universities.
