Abstract

Throughout modern history, there have been attempts to divide communities in the US between groups as to point at and blame others. Worse still, some groups have preference towards contemporary American cultural values preferred over the values that represent minority populations. The status quo was to translate American contemporary cultural values as being white, angelo-saxon Protestant (WASP), primarily patriarchal populations or images as ideally preferred over those counter to this narrative, especially among minority groups. One can question whether contemporary American cultural values, for higher education, were any different within African American communities. We might appreciate the diversity of values and cultural influences a true American identity and diversity of opinions brings to being a stronger nation overall. African American cultural values towards education parallel contemporary values.
