I think these 2 young women should win a Nobel in mathematics!❤🎉😊
Unfortunately, there is not a Nobel for mathematics.
@@MathNotMathing There is it is just called the Fields Medal (maybe not Nobel) but certainly equivalent to the Nobel but specifically for mathematics.
Most Definitely. Black Girl Magic.
This is outstanding! So happy to be a Maryite! So proud of these young ladies! 💙💛
GOD continue Blessing these young women 🙏🏾
This is awesome! The Sisters pf the Holy Family from this St. Mary's Motherhouse also taught at Our Lady of Grace in Reserve LA- which I am a proud alum!
I don’t know, am I a big softy? I find this incredibly moving. I think these children, these young women, are not only remarkable, but they are also ordinary examples of what human beings are capable of when they are raised in dignity and promise.
So proud of these young ladies!!!❤❤❤
Go, Maryites! I’m extremely proud of all of these young ladies. Keep shining, girls! 💙💛 C/O ‘17
Beautiful....watch the movie with Vanessa Williams playing Arriet...Diane Carol played her mom .. beautiful story and good to hear more about her legacy.
So what’s the title of the movie?
@@theodorehaskins3756 THE NAME IS "THE COURAGE TO LOVE" STARRING VANESSA WILLIAMS
I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS MOVIE TWICE. SHE CHOSE HER DEVOTION TO GOD OVER HER LOVE FOR THE FRENCH DOCTOR. THE NAME OF THE MOVIE IS "THE COURAGE TO LOVE".
New Orleans has it problems However the abundance of HBCUS and historical black private schools really makes new orleans a meca fir boack excellence But like girls gone wild to katrina nobody wants to focus on the sheer Majesty of New Orleans and the New Orleans people

It’s unfortunate educators/policymakers are not attempting to replicate this institution’s model in urban areas around the Nation.
Black History Matters.
For people who say that black excellence doesn’t exist I should show them this video and I also show that you can persevere all the stack against you
Seems nobody wants to focus on the traditional educational philosophies, strategies and curricula that result in outcomes like these two remarkable students. Even this rare 60 Minutes piece doesn't want to touch it. Exactly how hard have the NEA, the AFT and all the education programs in colleges/universities (elite and otherwise) been working to collect and analyze the data and thereby REPLICATE what these highly successful schools are doing? Because I'm very interested in this issue, and I am just not seeing it. Their abject, ongoing failure to do so should be considered CRIMINAL. How many generations of poor students have been failed by these bureaucrats? Systemic racism...INDEED!
Good Lord. You can't see the forest from the trees. Because this school is successful doesn't mean that systemic racism doesn't exist or affect education offerings. Hello, we live in a country now where it is illegal in many red states to teach factual American history because white supremacist legislation.
Kuddo to SMA!!
Fantastic report. CBS almost tried to make it about race, (as media usually does). These young ladies achieve their scholastic goals because the School sets STANDARDS, the teachers and administration believe in those standards. The Academy probably gets rid of students who choose not to follow the standards. Most Importantly these young ladies have parents who prioritize education. It is not magic or a fluke. It is a recipe for success no matter what race, class or gender the students are.
Puh-leeze. CBS did no such thing. It reported on the achievement of two students and provided context to understand the history of the school. It's amazingly intellectually dishonest to think that speaking the truth that St Mary's was founded by an African American woman who defied the law to provide education to Black girls should not be mentioned.
Your not lying your just blind, beautiful women all over the planet and the most beautiful can be anywhere anytime So yea your lying and missed the whine point of the post
On another note The most beautiful white women in america live in North Georgia The most beautiful black women live in New Orleans Tell me im lying
There are beautiful black women all across this country.
It's ground zero of the Nation vanity belt that runs east to Carolinas and west to House.
There are beautiful women everywhere.
@@SufferingSucotash You're stating a fact. We're being opinionated based up on our personal observations. Lighten up. Besides, you would not say that if you've been to West Virgina. 🤣🤣
Well as a creole woman from New Orleans - thank you
