Without any direct policy making, President Obama has decided to bring young Black students back to the roots (no pun intended) of well-groomed dress wear.  In Durham, NC students have been tackling the issue at local colleges.  Cards have been given out that explain precisely the type of dress that should be worn by students [...]
