In 1979 I went to Empire Tech School in the basement of the Empire State Building. There were 43 of us in the 6 month full time class to learn programming. 5 of us graduated the other 38 black students never showed up after a few weeks. They all came for the free transit passes and government money that put them in there (around $300 a month). Sorry but not 1 black graduated and 4 out of 5 of us got jobs before or right after graduation that I know of.
See 24... Joe first went to the Senate in 1972... So if he was out picking up sisters to teach to code, they were working on mainframes.... This whole story sounds like rot to me.
