TO LEARN OR NOT TO LEARN? THAT IS THE QUESTION: RACIAL DISPARITIES IN EDUCATION: PART IV
Fifty years ago, only 4 percent of people of African descent had earned a college degree. During that same time, only 31 percent of people of African descent had earned a high school diploma. Currently, those figures have changed to 20% for college completion and 84% for high school completion. For people of African descent, there has always been suppression, oppression, and even terror, when it comes to education. From grade school to professional school, people of African descent have experienced unequal educational opportunity and discrimination because of race, caste, and social class. Even after the Brown vs Board of Education U.S. Supreme Court decision in 1954, schools are still segregated and educational opportunity is still unequal. There are also constraints against teaching the truth about U.S history.
