How can we use culturally relevant programming to reach more students?

What we have is lost instruction time, lost classroom time, disengagement from the school environment, feelings of alienation, and a lot of times we see increased referrals to the juvenile justice system for often minor offenses. npr.org/blogs/ed/2014/09/25/351186785/q-a-the-mis-education-of-african-american-girls
