Abstract
While scalable, data-driven recommendations are indeed necessary to support young men of color, last summer Dr. Marc Lamont Hill displayed the meaning of “my brother’s keeper” in a complementary way. Hill left Columbia University, an Ivy League institution, and returned to Morehouse College, an all-male historically Black institution in Atlanta, Georgia, where he left after his first year of college. Hill’s return to Morehouse reinforces the importance of men of color as mentors, role models, educators, and partners in helping boys and young men of color succeed.
