Breaking Barriers 3: Challenge the Status Quo: Academic Success among School-age African American Males
By Ivory A. Toldson, Ph.D. and Chance Lewis, Ph.D.
Challenge the Status Quo examines a comprehensive strategy to ensure equitable resources, college and career readiness, and fair discipline practices for school-aged Black males. The report challenges conventional wisdom on educating black males and uses national data to provide a picture of a productive school environment. The authors assert that schools should work to have a collective GPA of more than 3.0, have near 100 percent student participation in an extracurricular activity, have at least 25 percent of their black males in honors classes and less than 6 percent in special education, and suspend less than 10 percent of their black male students for any reason.

By Ivory A. Toldson, Ph.D. and Elsie L. Scott, Ph.D.
CBCF hosted a policy roundtable titled "Poverty, Race and Policy: Strategic Advancement of a Family Economic Success Agenda" on Nov. 17, 2005. Public policy experts and prominent members of research think tanks and black civil rights organizations assembled to discuss how to further advance the economic conditions of marginalized families. Although the roundtable was scheduled well before Hurricane Katrina, the disaster intensified the need to find innovative ideas proven to advance the quality of life of far too many poor families. Released in December 2006, this document highlights important policy prescriptions that surfaced during the roundtable debates and provides tangible policy solutions the public can embrace.
