Reflection on Literacy and Black Women

Strong Black women

Our African decedents went through hard work, dedication, sweat and tears just so african americans today could use literacy to make a differeence. Today, African Americans are not considering the fact that being literate is a privilege. There are people in different countries who do not have the privilege to be literate because of their country's poverty. African Americans have always tried to have higher standards than the whites but yet discrimination seems to limit what jobs we can and cannot have. Being a woman in general is hard in life. It's like society set limits for womans capablites because you don't see too many women engineeers or docotors.Women can do just as much as man can in the work field.We need to encourage African American youth to stay in school and help veer them into being successful in life.

  1. It is interesting that so many people in third world countries yearn for an education. Yet, so many people here in America are eager to throw it away. How do we create a vision that education is the key to unlocking some of those discrimanatory doors?
