The Essence of Special Education for Black Males

Author: Vernon Hall (Iowa State University)

Abstract

This presentation will provide a brief historical look into the relationship between African American/Black males and the use of special education as a dumping ground when they neither conform nor assimilate into the American school system. It will review the historical development of special education, particularly for African American males, and will suggest a framework for the infusion of a multicultural perspective throughout the special education program.
