Abstract	Educators and community activists in Boston are talking together about academic achievement and persistence. However, they are also asking questions that are foreign to white suburban discussions of school success and college readiness. In this article, the author relates the range of concerns raised at the "Education of Black Youth in Boston" roundtable discussion held last April at the University of Massachusetts Boston. The discussion aimed to explore ways to improve the academic achievement of Boston public school children from diverse backgrounds. (ERIC).
