Drive down Woodward Avenue near Canfield in Detroit, and you’ll see the usual slick billboards put together by big-name advertising agencies. Add to that mix a design by Dakari Randall, a student at Detroit’s Douglass Academy for Young Men. His simple message — stay in school — is part of a project led by Julie Anne Taylor, UM-Dearborn associate professor of education, and Okezie Iroha, Douglass Academy social studies teacher.
