The Stereotype Within.
Elrich, Marc
Educational Leadership, v51 n8 p12-15 May 1994
A white elementary teacher at a suburban school with multicultural programs discovered that his class of African American and Hispanic sixth graders thought they (and other dark people) were inherently bad and destined for poverty. Aided by a black guidance counselor, the teacher helped these kids shed their "badness" and understand racist attitudes in our society. (MLH)
