Black achievers adopt culture

Black achievers adopt culture

West Chester University of Pennsylvania, Student Newspapers, The Quad, 1987 Vol. 55 No. 17

This article appeared on the February 17th, 1987 issue of "The Quad" student newspaper. It addresses the concern of professional black individuals distancing themselves from their black culture as a means to better orient themselves to the academic environment. The article notes that many students feel "I have to give up my black self in order to succeed." It claims that studies show that black individuals who attend predominantly black schools are more successful due to the increase in black culture in the lives of the students and staff members. Ultimately, the article encourages an increase in awareness and respect for black culture, which will lead to black people being affirmed in their black identity.
