Scholars Dig Deeper into Educational Challenges Black Boys Face - Higher Education

Scholars Dig Deeper into Educational Challenges Black Boys Face - Higher Education: A new book titled African American Male Students in PreK-12 Schools is receiving national attention for its deep analysis of the pressing issues that Black boys face, as well as solutions for how education practitioners might best address some of these challenges.

Published in May by Emerald Press, the book’s editors, Drs. James L. Moore III and Chance W. Lewis, collaborated on the project to “highlight those educational research practices, and policies that weakens school and life outcomes for Black males.”

Moore and Lewis said that their book helps to explain “why existing education practices, policies and systems need a major overhaul in order for African American males to have a chance of succeeding in school and beyond.”
