Riassunto

It is high time for more diversity in education, diversity that includes thorough, articulate, Black males. Contrary to popular belief, the need for a strong emergence of Black male teachers is not only for the benefit of Black boys and Black girls. Children and parents of all races and both genders need to be introduced to the antithesis of the stereotypical Black man and build strong, healthy relationships that will be the means for greater racial and ethnic harmony.
