Although education is normally seen as the best path to success, the American education system is constantly under scrutiny by political leaders, educators, students, and parents. However, there are also underlying factors of racism that still persist in America that are present in schools and affect the foundation of education programs. I\u2019d like to hone in on African American education in rural areas as well as inner city schools where the heaviest racism is present. I will examine the history of Black education in the twentieth-century and compare it to where it stands in the twenty-first century. Especially over the past sixty years there were major changes in education, starting with the Civil Rights Movement. I will also evaluate programs that were designed to encourage minority education and note whether or not they succeed in providing equal opportunities for black students. I also want to examine the correlation between black education and crime rates because education often leads to avoiding dangerous situations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Value: Education and success have a strong correlation; however, not all Americans have access to proper resources that aid learning and support for continuing to higher education. W.E.B. Du Bois claimed that education of the black community by black educators would lead to the best success for African Americans. In America today there has been a push for more integrated school systems; however, this is what Du Bois argued against. Does separating students make for deeper race divides or do the benefits of the learning process outweigh other possible consequences? Would African American parents actually agree to sending their children to schools designated for race specific learning? Does that go against all the efforts that were made throughout the past century to conquer racism?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Originality: The gap in education from whites and blacks has been noted for years and many people blame the gap on differences in social classes. Edward Bell, author of journal article &#8220;Educating African American Males,\u201d found that African American students place a heavy focus on their appearance rather than obtaining self discipline. Bell argued that school systems need to help students develop social skills, which can further help them down the road. The argument that it is important to help them develop practical skills relates to the journal article, &#8220;60 Years after Brown v. Board of Education: The Impact of the Congressional Black Caucus on the Education of Black People in the United States of America\u201d written by Ivory Toldson. Toldson argued that the most important thing is to make academic resources available to all students in order to aid learning. He also argued that by forcing integration to create a diversity does not ensure educational equality. Another source that I will use in my paper is the book <i>Educating a Diverse Nation <\/i>by Clifton Conrad because he worked directly with African American students from universities and programs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Practicality: I believe that I have enough information to support my claims. I would like to find more books on the subject but there is a good amount of articles that are good resources. I also think that I should try looking into videos or documentaries because having someone explain the complicated topic will help present new ideas and questions. I will use several primary sources and I will also use some secondary sources from the Dickinson online database.
