Abstract	This voluminous collection of data presents a detailed picture of the educational status, performance, progress, and financial support of African Americans in higher education and adult education. The 10 chapters, each with a brief overview and text sections that supplement the data tables, cover: (1) African American population characteristics; (2) higher education enrollments and completions, including data on access to post secondary education and degree recipients; (3) undergraduate student financial aid, encompassing institutional characteristics, college costs and financial need, types and sources of aid, college experiences, and demographic characteristics; (4) access, choice, and persistence characteristics for 1989-90 beginning postsecondary students; (5) post-degree activities, including demographic characteristics of 1992-93 bachelor's degree recipients, their academic experiences as undergraduates, institutional characteristics, use of financial aid, and graduate school and employment experiences; (6) student performance on graduate and first-professional school admissions tests; (7) student financial aid for graduate and first-professional students, including data on type of program, institutional characteristics, tuition and financial need, type and source of award, and college experiences; (8) characteristics of doctoral degree recipients; (9) representation of African Americans among college and university faculty; and (10) participation in adult education. A brief concluding chapter asks how lessons learned from the past can be used to chart future progress. A glossary is appended. (CH)
