Pomona College Lincoln Hall

´After adjusting to desegregation era, African-American students are at a split in the road: Where do we go? Since the beginning of time, educational systems have been created and destroyed. After the introduction of European thought at the beginning of the next millennium, European thought has flooded all academia. Ancient European thought has been replicated into contemporary white followers. Their scholarship has excluded the experience of African-Americans. Examining the philosophical, social, and historical facts forced the integration of schools, thus adding onto the beyond reach solution to Black coexistence in America. Brown v. Board of Education attempted to unify American society to create productive members of society with the education of Black Americans was forced American society under the idea of equality established by Brown v. Board of Education. Unfortunately, however, such a commitment elevates the ethical appeals made by Brown, which focused on higher ideals of reason and humanity found in liberal political thought and the eventual transcendence of racial identity, to moral code. This ideology, instead of attending to what Blacks should learn or the knowledge Blacks need to have in order to thrive as Blacks in America, forces Blacks to abide by the social motives that aim to create good Negro citizens.
