Students at San Francisco's Thurgood Marshall Academic High School ask each other why only 3 African American males graduated in 2009. Staff members and students are interviewed about the effect that low graduation rates have had on their school community and explain their thoughts about the graduation rate issue. Created for our TV-episode Zoom In #17: Conversations about Race.
