Our goal for this session is to give a progression of African-Americans in education; from their denial to education, to crowded and segregated facilities, to affirmative action and reverse affirmative action. The speaker may take any angle she/he desires and may speak about, for example: challenges faced by teachers in low income neighborhoods whose responsibilities are to achieve passing test scores, and the pressures placed on these teachers; or the low numbers of African-Americans in graduate programs.
