- Description:
- The purpose of this study was to investigate the treatment of Blacks in high school American history textbooks and to look at the policies of American history textbook publishers regarding Black contributions to history. The method of research used was an examination of American history textbooks from the metropolitan Atlanta area. The findings showed the American history textbooks used in the developmental course and advanced course did not mention the contributions of Blacks as much as the regular textbook. Questionnaire responses from the publishers indicated that Blacks were included in all periods of American history, but the textbooks did not show Blacks in all periods of American history.
