Abstract | This study examined the portrayal of African Americans and Latinos over a twelve-year time period (1997-2008) at National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) annual meetings. NCSS was selected because it is the largest organization responsible for social studies education in America's schools. Like U.S. history textbooks, the authors assumed NCSS would offer its constituencies a balanced portrayal of the groups. The authors examined the conference programs for each year and tallied the number of activities offered by NCSS and its associated groups that described each of the groups and the groups combined. The number of activities describing the groups was exceedingly small with no activities describing the groups' portrayals in U. S. history textbooks or their academic performance in social studies instruction. The overall presentation of the groups was far from balanced or comprehensive. Explanations for the portrayal of the groups are offered and areas for further research are provided. (Contains 13 tables.) (As Provided). |
