African-Americans studying abroad still a minority within a minority
Filed by James Edwards on Jun 13, 2008 11:22 AM

Jacketus Presswood became a citizen of the world as a child.

Watching documentaries, reading books and seeing the many travels of his older brother left an indelible mark on Presswood, a Chicago native who is now a senior at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

“From an early age I knew that I was going to go abroad. I had an inherent interest in history. I remember watching my father’s videos and documentaries about Far-East Asia. So I started reading books on these far-away places, and I just fell in love with wanting to go see the world,” Presswood said.
