This book is designed to explore the historical and current level of African-American political participation, to assess the fruits of participation, and to provide recommendations for improving the efficacy of African-American political participation in the future. By focusing on the national rather than local/urban contexts of black politics, by directly assessing the impact of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 on black political progress, and by evaluating the role of economic stagnation as well as cultural developments in constraining that progress, the volume provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of these issues.

If Black colleges and universities wish to survive in the competitive and economically stressed education environment of the 21st century, they would do well to respond to some of the pressures for reform that the general school structures are undergoing, in particular population diversification. Sims provides a model for diversification that presents four major steps in orderly progression: the removal of barriers for admission of nonblack students; the development of special programs of interest to the general student population; and the diversification of faculty and administration. Ways of restructuring historically Black colleges and universities to be more supportive of diverse student populations are also developed in this work.
