The Plight of Black Males in American Schools: Separation May Not Be the Answer.
Biggs, Shirley A.
Negro Educational Review, v43 n1-2 p11-16 Jan-Apr 1992
Examines problems that afflict African-American males in education. Looks at the current suggestion that separate education for African-American males may be a solution. Argues that separation is not the answer because of a historical legacy of separation. Suggests alternatives including after-school and weekend all-male clubs and activities. (JB)
