I see 11 women, and 1 man. Where are the Black men? Or the men of color? I can’t help but see this photo and reflect on the state of the Black Man in Harlem. There are a lot of stats that portray the dismal state of the “black man” based on education, unemployment, prison, probation, etc, however this 1 photo kind of says it all, does it not? 12 inaugural graduates of the Project Enterprise Entrepreneurial Assistance Program here in Harlem and only 1 is a Black male? This is troubling. We gotta do better.
