Research Paper on:
Continuation of Segregation in the United States

Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
the subtle ways in which African Americans are denied particular rights, kept from particular institutions, and generally oppressed to the point where they are segregated by society, not by law.  They find themselves in a position where they experience "low income, high unemployment, and poor education" (Foster African.html). In the following paper we focus on the conditions concerning education  as it relates to the African American. This is the largest area in which African Americans find themselves segregated by society, and the area which serves to keep many of  them segregated in the rest of society. Education African Americans, throughout much of history in the United States, have lost out in one respect or another. Beginning from  the time when they were dragged over here as slaves, to the present day where, whether we like it or not, a large majority of the poverty ridden individuals in  large cities continue to be of African American descent, America has not always been kind to the African American people. In addition, America has not necessarily gone out of their  way to honesty incorporate that particular ethnic group into society as a whole. Prejudices still exist and discrimination is still a reality. This is perhaps, incredibly evident within the  field of education as it relates to the African American citizen. Granted, there are many other educational issues which abound today in the United States which illustrate that many people  are not receiving an adequate education, but the fact is that African Americans have been miseducated, diseducated, and generally seen as different, in terms of education, throughout the history of  the United States. Many of us would imagine that the conditions today are not anything like the times of slavery, and that is, for the most part, very true.
