In 2015, Dr. Curtis Lewis had a vision to galvanize his years of learning, experience, and network of educators to marshal in a new organization with the primary goal to recruit, retain and develop black male educators. Black Male Educators Alliance of Michigan was established to dismantle the institutional impediments to diversity within the educational profession, thereby improving the educational experiences of urban youth. Dr. Lewis is currently the Chief of Teaching and Learning for Detroit 90/90’s 10 school network.
