  <title>From the Ghetto to Harvard</title>
  <link>http://www.socialedge.org</link>
  
  <description>
    
       Bill Strickland, a three-time Harvard Business School case study and a MacArthur Genius Award winner, has changed the lives of thousands of disadvantaged urban teens and welfare mothers with his world-class arts centers and career training centers. He tells his story in “Make The Impossible Possible,” from which this blog is excerpted.
