This issue of Lumina Foundation Focus looks closely at real-life success stories of three African-American males:

  • Evan Snelling, a high school basketball star who saw his Division I dreams shattered by injury, and then rebounded to find an even more satisfying role as a mentor to other young black males at Georgia Highlands College.
  • Kevin Lee, a 22-year-old who’s compiled a stellar academic record at Paul Quinn College in Dallas—and earned national accolades for his entrepreneurial skills—despite the fact that he’s homeless.
  • Terrance Range—who, in his teens and early 20s was an admittedly unfocused student interested only in “wildin’ out”—but is now a dedicated scholar, a second-year doctoral student at Michigan State University with plans to become a college president.
