A unique reference work providing information and resources on the
main issues concerning the education of African Americans over the
past two decades. From 1954 to the present, from preschool programs
like Headstart to historically black colleges and universities,
African American Education: A Reference Handbook explores the black
educational experience. Statistical analysis and anecdotal
evidence, along with interviews with leading black educators, help
readers understand the African American perspective on such
controversial issues as testing, curriculum choice, institutional
approaches, affirmative action, and the effects of desegregation.
Readers will also discover how the striking incompatibility between
early informal education experiences and later formal education
results in a dichotomy that sets African Americans apart from other
groups. A detailed chronology charting benchmarks in African
American education from 1619-2000 Discussions of relevant
constitutional amendments, laws, and court decisions
A highly readable overview of the rich past of historically black
colleges and universities, and how their role in higher education
is evolving for the future. Historically black colleges and
universities (HBCUs) have influenced African American lives and
communities since 1837. Historically Black Colleges and
Universities provides a past and present look at their role in
higher education. This volume addresses why these institutions
exist, how effective they've been, and if today's 103 HBCUs are
still necessary. Special attention is given to the years since 1954
and to desegregation cases such as Brown v. Board of Education,
United States v. Fordice, and other judicial decisions. The volume
highlights government relations, leadership, and philanthropy as
they apply to HBCUs. Also, a chapter provides a case study of the
Historically Minority Universities Bioscience and Biotechnology
Program Initiative, and a final chapter suggests research agendas
for the 21st century. Six narrative chapters covering the history,
purpose, and legacy of these institutions and how they relate to
the government and the international community Directory of
national organizations, associations, and federal agencies
associated with and proponents of historically black colleges and
universities
