Toward the Blackwell Institute of Art, Math and Science



We ended up today in a high powered meeting with Paul Cobb, Publisher of the Oakland Post Newspapers, centered around Ramal as a young math genius and how Paul can support him and nine other math genius in the Bay to help them form an Institute of Art, Math and Science. Maybe, just for now, call it Academy of da Corner Institute of Art, Math and Science. Ramal is a Professor of Logic at Academy of da Corner and Math Instructor at Berkeley High's East Campus. During our meeting with Paul Cobb, childhood friend of Marvin X, the publisher received calls from corporate officials who pledged to support the project. Also while the meeting was in progress, producers of Rap entertainers entered who also pledged support for the project, agreeing to make their artists help with promotional videos.

Ramal, the young math genious was quite overwhelmed by the support he received and the allocades from Paul and others for his work with discarded youth, many under the criminal justice system, wearing ankle monitors, yet Ramal says they are genius mentality, no matter their status as gang bangers, homeless and discarded youth. He told Paul of students who solved math problems he wasn't able to solve until he was an undergraduate at San Francisco State University.

Paul Cobb pledged one thousand dollars to purchase the book requested by Ramal for his students, Euclid's classic math text.

You and your organization are encouraged to contact Paul Cobb if you would like to support this project.
