Dr. EBlack
lists being a father, son, brother, and educator as his greatest
accomplishments. In addition, Dr. Black has turned a life full of "cannots"
into "cans".
Born and raised in Detroit, MI by a single mother, Dr. Black grew up
in the turbulent '70s in what was called "The Murder Capital of the
World" at that time. The constructive rebelliousness and Black Power
Movement of the '60s and early '70s took a back seat to the crack
induced '80s and produced a generation born or influenced in some
way by the new drug. Dr. Black, as a young child, felt he should do
something to help those around him who couldn't help themselves.
Dr. Black graduated from Western Michigan University in 1987 with a
Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications. After several career
changes and entrepreneurial efforts including advertising,
theater/art gallery owner, insurance, and public relations, Dr.
Black arrived in Los Angeles.
1995 was an important year as more than a million African American
men met at the mall in Washington DC. Each of these men, as well as
thousands around the globe watching, took an oath, in essence, to
better their communities. Dr. Black decided to make a change in his
community by teaching elementary and later middle school in South
Central Los Angeles.
Dr. Black developed two programs specifically for African American
males that successfully merged mentorship with academia. These
programs instilled a sense of pride for its participants and Dr.
Black.
In 2004, Dr. Black graduated from the University of Southern
California as a Doctor of Education. |
