Thesis Statement: Educational inequality has been a huge barrier for many African Americans in the United States. From testing, rates of college completion, and high GPAs. Past extreme obstacles have to stop African Americans from achieving their educational goals and maintaining their values. The purpose of my research is to examine the reasons for these educational disparities; and why they still exist to this present time. While doing my research, I have gathered insightful information to help my readers, and I understand why this issues still occurring. I will also provide my personal experience as well.

The authors concluded that the gap in educational performance across racial groups continues. Other researchers believed that minority families themselves are the reason for these disparities. These authors think that these gaps are created based on a function of social structural conditions. The authors began to explain that after completing the study black students are more positive about their education than white students. African American students believe that knowledge is essential if you wanted to obtain a job in the future.

In the gap, the price of school-age children who were from other racial/ethnic groups increased during this period: those who were Hispanic increased from 16 to 24 percent; those who were Asian, from 3 to 5 percent; and those who were of two or more races, from 2 to 4 percent.
The percentage of children under age 18 living in poverty, based on the official poverty measure, varied across racial/ethnic groups. In 2013, the rate was highest for Black children (39 percent), followed by Hispanic children (30 percent),
Black students accounted for a higher rate of enrollment in public charter schools (28 percent) than in traditional public schools (15 percent) in 2012. The percentage of public charter school enrollees who were White (35 percent) was lower than the rate of traditional public school enrollees who were White (52 percent). In 2012, about 28 percent of children under six years old who were not enrolled in kindergarten regularly received center-based care. The percentage of children who received periodically center-based care was higher for Black (34
