The Re-Education of the African American Child

The challenges African American children face in the school system are thoroughly documented. We know how the educational system fails many African American students, and we know why. Despite this, little has been done to address and fix these issues. Thus, the problem persists.



It's time to stop merely considering the problem and start actively working toward a solution-for the betterment of students, educators, and the nation. Veteran educator Larry D. Davis proposes a systematic, step-by-step approach to transforming how we educate African American children.



Davis clearly shows that the reeducation of African American children is a group effort: educators, students, parents, school districts, and communities all need to take responsibility for educating children. He examines the programs and services required to support both educators and African American students and candidly discusses the challenges his proposals face.



We have had decades to effect change for African American children, and we have done nothing but talk about the problem and point the finger of blame. Isn't it time we stopped talking about making a difference, rolled up our sleeves, and started working toward the solution? If the idea resonates with you, Davis's new book offers a blueprint for change.
