André Robert Lee and his sister grew up in the ghettos of Philadelphia. Their mother struggled to support them working in a local factory. When Andre was 14, he received a full scholarship to attend one of the most prestigious prep schools in the country. Elite education was Andre's way up and out, but at what price? The tuition was covered, but it cost him and his family much more than anyone could have anticipated.
In The Prep School Negro, André takes a journey back to revisit the events of his adolescence while also spending time with current day prep school students of color and their classmates to see how much has really changed inside the ivory tower. What he discovers along the way is the poignant and unapologetic truth about who really pays the consequences for yesterday's accelerated desegregation and today's racial naiveté.
