I selected four boys and four girls , who represented the class both ethnically and racially : three were African Americans , two were white , two were Hispanic , and one was Asian American . They were black and they were white , but they were mostly black men , listening to their personal testimony about the demons of drugs and alcohol , about the burden they carried because they only went to 8th grade in school ; to the challenges that the warden faced . Thirty DUMSM ranging between 20 to 56 years of age were interviewed for the study , 80 % of whom were white , and 20 % of whom were Native American , Latino , African American , and multi-racial . Of the nine Chips Quinn Scholars who have worked at the Times , three were African-American and six were Hispanic , including one whose family was from El Salvador . About 71 % of the sample were African American , 28.6 % were white , and 77.9 % were male . In 1998-99 , 71 per cent of registered learners were women , and 69 per cent of registered learners were white , compared to 60 per cent and 75 per cent respectively in 1990-91 . Many , many kids were dropping out of school , income for elders was less than fifteen hundred dollars a year , 25 percent of the people were hauling water , had no indoor plumbing , many of the houses were dilapidated , and so we began working in this community because we absolutely believed that this community and these people would rebuild and revitalize their community . Just as he joyfully refused any limits on his behavior , his love and loyalty were boundless , too .
