Abstract

This paper argues that schools, the primary instrument of cultural assimilation in the society, have failed to meet the needs of most minorities but particularly urban black students in the United States. The "committed school" is suggested as a partial solution, but the author warns that the underlying issue is racism, a barrier which must be eliminated before substantial progress can be made in minority education.
