We wear the mask that grins and lies, It hides our cheeks and
shades our eyes,-- This debt we pay to human guile; With torn and
bleeding hearts we smile, And mouth with myriad subtleties.
Why should the world be overwise, In counting all our tears and
sighs? Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask.
We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries To thee from tortured souls
arise. We sing, but oh the clay is vile Beneath our feet, and long the
mile; But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!

HISTORY OF AFRICAN AMERICAN
EDUCATION
African Americans were
initially not granted an
education at all because
they were imported from
the Trans-Atlantic slave
trade and viewed as less
than human.
Very rarely would there be
a nice master who would
take it upon themselves to
teach their slaves how to
read, etc.
HISTORY OF AFRICAN AMERICANS AND
EDUCATION
After the Civil War African
Americans were granted
freedom, however the south
created Jim Crow laws to
create separation between
European Americans and
African Americans.
All states created
educational laws calling
them separate, but
equal.

BrownII, issued in 1955, decreed that the dismantling of separate school systems
for blacks and whites could proceed with "all deliberate speed,"

the local NAACP chapter and the League of Women Voters of Las Vegas Valley to file suit
against CCSD for intentionally maintaining racially segregated elementary schools (Kelly v.
Mason, et al. in 1968 which was refiled asKelly v. Guinn, et al.)
In 1970, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ordered CCSD to develop a mandatory
desegregation plan.
In response, CCSD created the Sixth Grade Center Plan of Integration. This plan converted
all West Las Vegas elementary schools to Sixth Grade Centers that all CCSD students were
required to enroll in for 6th grade. African American students in West Las Vegas would
attend their neighborhood schools in kindergarten, but would be bused to schools outside
West Las Vegas during 1stthrough 5thgrade and again from 7ththrough 12thgrade.
Recognizing that this plan would place most of the burden on African American
students, the NAACP opposed it and appealed the plan, but the court denied the
appeal.
The Sixth Grade Center Plan of Integration ended in the 1992-93 academic year after
African American families in West Las Vegas organized a boycott in favor of neighborhood
schools. The boycott led parents of over 300 African American children to keep their
children out of CCSD schools until after count day.

African American marriage and kinship patterns are varied, although most
now conform to those of the majority of Americans.
Monogamyis the overwhelming choice of most married people.
Because of the rise of Islam, there is also a growing community of
persons who practice polygyny.
Within the African American population, one can find various arrangements
that constitute Family. Thus, people may speak of family, aunts, uncles, fathers,
mothers, and children without necessarily meaning that there is a genetic
kinship.
African Americans often say "brother" or "sister" as a way to indicate the
possibility of that being the actual fact that they could be related.
In the period of the enslavement, individuals from the same family were
often sold to differentplantationmasters and given the names of those
owners, creating the possibility that brothers or sisters would have
different surnames.
AFRICAN AMERICAN GENDER ROLES IN
THE FAMILY
African Americans reported a
greater level of shared
responsibilities around the house
such as cooking, cleaning and
caring for children compared to
their European American peers.
Many middle class African
Americans came from dual-
breadwinning families.
Although the mans main role
is to be the provider, he should
share household duties just as
the women should have a job
in addition to caring for the
kids.
