The tribute “Young, Gifted & Black” features portraits and personal statements from 13 PPS students, a small sample of our talented black youth. ... The tribute counters the question “Where are the black students who succeed?” From their eyes and in their words, these students say: Here we are. Aspiring, talented, hard-working, ambitious. We are young, gifted and black.
