Bust some more myths at Janks Morton's 10 Days of Black Truths.

  2. This is awesome! I saw some stats back in the late '90s about the increase in college attendance rates since the 1970s by race and gender. Basically, every group had increased except white men, who had declined slightly. But the largest increase was for black women, who had increased college attendance by an amazing 950%.
