Educating and Motivating African American Males to Succeed

Garibaldi, A. M. (1992). Educating and Motivating African American Males to Succeed. The Journal of Negro Education,61(1), 4.

Thus, parents also must motivate, encourage their sons so that they will use their talents and ability to perform successfully in the classroom.
