It has been concluded that “In 2008, 19.6 percent of all African Americans over the age of 25 held a college degree” (The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education). This remarkably low percentage validates that most underprivileged communities do not expect to accumulate a lot of college graduates.

It can be evident that this vicious cycle of underprivileged Americans can never be
