Feeling marginalized, black students and parents organize

Their numbers on campus shrinking, black students at Richmond High feel ignored — but a new parent and student group seek to change that. The African American Student-Parent Collaborative was born out of a desire to improve the educational experience of the school’s black students – a group whose numbers have diminished on campus in recent years. “That number [of black students enrolled at Richmond High] has steadily declined to an all-time low of 83 students currently. That’s just over 6 percent of a total student body population of 1,309."  Read more about the effort, and the burgeoning Black Student Union, on Richmond Pulse.
