Black History and Cultural Empowerment: A Case Study.
Merelman, Richard M.
American Journal of Education, v101 n4 p331-58 Aug 1993
Explores teaching African-American history as a form of African-American cultural empowerment, laying out arguments supporting this position and an alternative view. A case study of a school system shows how empowerment aspects of African-American history compete against other aspects of classroom practice as it examines how empowering African-American history is.
