| Summary: | Nationwide, 60% of Black males do not graduate from high school. This places Asa Wynn-Grant's already spectacular achievement in an even more spectacular context. Asa is a Black male who just graduated from Granby High School in Norfolk, Virginia with the highest grade point average -- a 4.49 or an A+ average -- of any student, White or Black, in the entire school system. Asa says it's not all brains, but something else--that every student possesses--that is responsible for his success. He brought his dad along to explain his parents' role in this achievement. My guests are Professor Bradford Grant who is the chairperson and endowed university professor of the Department of Architecture at Hampton University and his son, Asa Wynn-Grant, Granby High School's first Black valedictorian.
