Abstract | Issues related to inclusion of African-American males into educational programs have continued to spark multidimensional political debates. It is apparent that African-Americans and other minorities are ill-prepared to attain their educational goals in the current state of affairs. Consequently, African-American males are underrepresented in gifted programs and overrepresented in special education classes. Unless strategies are prescribed and put into practice, the trend will likely accelerate in the 21st century. Educational reforms have failed to ameliorate academic problems confronting African-American males. This paper proposes a "Comprehensive Support Model" to foster the educational success of African-American males in the 21st century. This model calls for active support and commitment of African-American males themselves, their families and communities, the educational and school systems, and society at large.
