What: The Black Youth Project, recently featured on ABC News, is a national research project out of the University of Chicago that examines the attitudes, resources, and culture of African American youth ages 15 to 25, exploring how these factors and others influence their decision-making, norms, and behavior in critical domains such as sex, health, and politics.
Why: The Black Youth Project provides not just a bunch of research facts on black youth, it also provides a platform for black youth to blog, vent, and connect on the unique issues they face. The BYP also provides research summaries coupled with a database of rap lyrics (given research shows African American youth listen to hip hop everyday), curriculum for educators based on BYP’s research findings, and a new comprehensive database on black youth in the news.
