Afrocentric schools  

Definición

  • Afrocentric schools were developed during the 1980s as African American educators demanded that schools center children within their own cultural context. There had been a strong independent school tradition in the African American community prior to this time, but in the 1980s the movement gained momentum from the articulation of the Afrocentric philosophy by leading intellectuals.
