Abstract
Education of some sort based on some delineated principle is perhaps the most crucial experience for any group of people, and in this period of history, of the most critical importance to Black people.
The lack of support and mentoring for people of color in education is not a new phenomenon. Adelaide Cromwell Hill wrote in her article "Black Education in the Seventies: A Lesson from the Past," that "educational policies with regard to Blacks are fairly well-known: none at all as long as he was a slave, limited and restricted when he was a segregated citizen of the South, and, theoretically, but rarely actually equal if he were a citizen of the North."
One fact remains true for the Black community - the correct education needed for Black youngsters to enable them to play a useful role in society requires a suitable educational environment. Regardless of specific philosophies, no one should deny that the goal of education should be to make every child a thoroughly equal citizen. The objectives of the educational process must seek to lower or remove the social and emotional barriers to complete realization of all Constitutional rights and privileges.
