Talib Kweli Raises Money For Chicago Schools
As one of the worst public school systems in the United States, Chicago Public School System (CPS) graduates only fifty percent of its high school freshmen. Of those who do graduate, only six percent finish college, and as little as two percent of minority students graduate from college. These statistics are not surprising in a system where eighty-five percent of students live under the poverty line. The Dare 2 Dream events will go towards positively impacting the lives of all 400,000 CPS students.
Jeff Sodikoff, President of host Platform One Entertainment said, “I'm extremely proud and honored to partner with the incredible Talib Kweli to help foster major awareness and raise important funding for Working In The Schools all while continuing our pursuit to harness the power of music and entertainment to benefit important causes.”
The event is scheduled for May 2, 2009 in Chicago.

Those are pretty staggering statistics. Being raised in Chicago (CPS) those numbers are really depressing! Shout out to Prosser Career Academy Class of '02! Thats great to hear Talib Kweli is targeting my home base and recognizing help is needed and getting involved.. Shout out to him and everyone else that also gives back. 1000
