Gladwell recently published his latest book, <a style="color: rgb(53, 199, 237); font-weight: 600; text-decoration-line: none; text-decoration-style: solid; text-decoration-color: currentcolor;" href="https://trk.cp20.com/click/a9y7-2eavlz-4zd4u0-fd5fz862/" fg_scanned="1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em>The Bomber Mafia</em></a>,
in which he weaves together the stories of World War II aviation pioneers to offer a riveting tale of obsession, innovation and moral dilemmas. At OZY Fest, the intellectual troublemaker took aim at the way America ranks its colleges, pointing out that HBCUs (historically black colleges and universities) should receive much more recognition.</p>

These schools that are doing amazing things are getting dissed by the rankings ...
