R. L'Heureux Lewis-McCoy, writing for Ebony about "a comprehensive study of Black males who have excelled at college and beyond":

The CSREE study begins with an alternative perspective – a strength based approach. Rather than document ad nauseam what ensnares Black male mobility, the report asks what do Black males, their communities, and their schools do to ensure success? From this approach we see not just what is going right but how to expand these practices so more can excel.
