About The Talented Tenth at Validus Preparatory Academy

"The Negro race, like all races, is going to be saved by its exceptional men. The problem of education, then among Negroes must first of all deal with the Talented Tenth; it is the problem of developing the best of this race - that they may guide the mass away from the contamination and death of the worst in their own and other races." - W.E.B. Du Bois The Talented Tenth's goal at Validus Preparatary Academy is to essentially provide hope for the future of people of color. In the Talented Tenth, our mentors (which include Mr. Keenan, Ms. Belton, Ms. Brito, Mr. Lawson and more) guide and provide the Talented Tenth members with valuable information that would ultimately allow us to become the best version of ourselves. However, something that our mentors also emphasize within this group is the importance of helping one another. Ultimately, it is imperative that we, as youth of color, strive to become the next generation of leaders for our race. Change is needed now more than ever in the black community. The Talented Tenth allows us to not only realize that sentiment, but it allows us to figure out how we can best tend to the plight of our race. Offering the following: Awards & Scholarships College & Career coaching Community service & Sustainability awareness Educational resources & materials Networking opportunities + so much more
