Abstract
Note: It is my belief that each racial group can speak better for itself than anyone else. Therefore, in this paper I will refer primarily to African-American students even though I am certain that information contained within has the same implications for all Third-World people.
Sooner or later educators must collectively acknowledge that neither traditional nor contemporary educational methods have succeeded in providing equitable learning experiences for African-American students.
The very educational system that stimulates the growth and development of Caucasian children by reinforcing what is familiar to them acts as a depressant to African-American children who are made to feel their race is inferior because they are consistently treated as nonentities. In every book and every class, lies a constant reminder of that so-called inferiority.
