Abstract
The author outlines a process of Afro-American education which would establish a cultural identity for American Blacks. Dr. Wilson discusses the underlying principles of such a process, contrasts them to the current Anglo-American educational system, and draws attention to the need for the Black community to reconsider community values and attitudes in building viable educational institutions. For her, the essence of an Afro-American process of education lies in a more clarified view of Black identity and folkways, and cannot be found in Western values, attitudes, and institutions.Keywords
