Abstract: It is inconceivable that any child will succeed in life without an education. But in the 21st century the question remains, just what kind of education are African Americans getting in today’s schools? Research indicates that some African American students are succeeding while, unfortunately, many are failing along the way. It is as though the educational system is more suited for the dominant culture than for African Americans. This manuscript provides reflections of the American educational system and offers recommendations, via the concept REACH, for making it more appropriate for the needs of African Americans.
