      abstract = {In decades of school reform, from Brown v. Board of Ed to  the No Child Left Behind Act and the recursive educational  reforms they have ushered into our schools, improving the  achievement outcomes of students of color has been a  primary focus in public education. The new code for  addressing this concern is the current focus on closing the  "achievement gap" between Black and White  students--especially, for African American males, the group  that continues to occupy the bottom tiers in of achievement  at all levels of school. This concern raises the question  why, for generation after generation, have African American  males not been successful academically. There is a  significant body of research supported by quantitative  measures showing low-test scores, high dropout rates, crime  and incarceration statistics which suggest that African  American males are not successful in school or in society.  Existing research shows that African American males are  least likely to be employed and most likely to be  imprisoned. They are oftentimes, most likely to be  overrepresented in categories associated with school  failure.},
