Addressing decades-long decline in Black male student college enrollment; Georgia production companies slow down on TV and film projects
Listen now
Description
According to a new report from the American Institute for Boys and Men, there are now 50,000 fewer Black men enrolled in college as compared to pre-pandemic levels. Black men currently make up 26% of the population at HBCUs, but in the 1970s they made up 38% of the population. Dr. Darryl Holloman, the vice president for student affairs at Spelman College, discusses the decline of Black male students pursuing higher education degrees. Plus, Jewel Wicker, an Atlanta-based award-winning entertainment reporter, discusses the current state of Georgia’s film industry as production companies are slowing on shooting movies and television shows in the Peach State, and why states like California are trying to lure film productions away from Georgia.
