Interesting read didn’t know this started at Clemson


Jul 26, 2018, 7:17 PM

The Chicago program is modeled after an initiative started at Clemson University in 2000. Faculty at the South Carolina school were startled by the high number of black men incarcerated and the low number of black teachers in the state, said Roy Jones, executive director of the MISTER program and one of the early organizers of the initiative.

A group of historically black colleges collaborated with Clemson to create MISTER. As of this spring, 258 African-American graduates of the program are teaching or working as administrators in public elementary and middle schools across South Carolina, Jones said.

Jeff Davis helped start it.

If memory serves, he was on the Oprah Winfrey show to talk about it and get some cash.

Sounds like a wonderful program. Wasn’t Jeff Davis involved?
