Abstract | This essay provides a Critical Race Theory (CRT) analysis of current discussions of the "achievement gap"as the latest incarnation of the "white intellectual superiority/African American intellectual inferiority" notion that is a mainstay of "majoritarian storytelling" in U.S. culture. A critical race counter-story chronicles both the historical development and maintenance of the "achievement gap" along with efforts of African Americans to secure access to education. The process by which the 1954 "Brown v. Board of Education" Supreme Court decision was subverted as a historical intervener in systemic access to equity in educational opportunity for African Americans is discussed. This essay concludes with principles to promote successful academic achievement of African American children. (Author). |
