African-American Personal Goals

The number of two-parent African American households is dissolving. According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, the black family has declined from 80% in 1890 to 39% in 1990.

Through Coates’ recollections and fair warnings to his son, the relationship between black identity and “The Dream” becomes clearer.

In track, I did many fundraisers and similar dog sitting friends and family. Other extracurriculars I have done the past 2 years include being nominated for the National Society of High School Scholars and the
