Henry, Wilma J.; Closson, Rosemary B.
Journal of Student Affairs Research and Practice, v49 n1 p17-32 Feb 2012
Focus groups were used in the present study to explore the racial identity development of Black male and White male student-athletes on a predominantly Black, Division IA football team at a predominantly White institution (PWI). Findings indicate that the Black male football players demonstrated positive indicators of Black racial identity. The White male football players were at various stages of White racial identity development, but in general their experiences were positive as well.
