CBS46 News January 2, 2017 Grant helps Morehouse students save minority men from incarceration The Annie E. Casey Foundation<http://www.aecf.org/podcast/?gclid=CLLM3uSmpNECFVA6gQodmRMEsg> gifted the Morehouse College Computing Research Center Lab with a $60,011 grant to analyze initiatives that are helping to decrease the number of young men of color in prison. The lab created a tool that uses visualization technology that helps organizations to analyze real-time data more quickly from more than 200 youth facilities across the country.
