This scholarly cause is written by graduate directors of different programs and the article talks about important information, regarding African Americans in predominantly white institutions. The writer brings up multiple causes and effects of why it can be harmful growing up in PWI, as an African American teenager. The article discusses the research that has been done, and how to better improve these environments for black students. The main two topics covered in this article are, what some of the causes can be that lead to poor experiences for African American students in PWIS, and as stated before, what are some of the ways we can better the environment for them. This article source has helpful information, mainly the post-secondary-education research that was explained, and the graphs that were shown on how to get more diverse recruitment through students and staff. This source is different from the other sources as this has scientific research from professors of universities, which helps with further credibility. The writers are directors at Idaho state university, which gives them more advantages to perform labs and look into statistics as they have access to their university facilities. Overall the goal of this source seems to be to educate people on how to be more inclusive and diverse when it comes to education institutions for black students.This article has given me some new inscite, and aspects about african americans in PWIS that I had never thought about. The source explaining in detail as to why African American students may be treated differently in these institutions, helps me for my project, as it furthers my knowledge on this topic. I will definitely use this source throughout my process of researching, referring back to it as it has good information.

This source talks about what African American girls experience at PWIs from k-12. This source is so insightful as it educates the constant poor treatment toward african american girls, and how it can occur in any grade. There is a wide range of topics from background info as to why African American girls are treated the way they are to, to going into specific schools, and doing beneficial experiments. This source provides a wide overview of the causes and effects that have led to and can lead to African American girls having poor experiences in schools. The nature of this source is an article from proquest. It's useful and valuable as it has liable experiments from professors at universities. It compares to the other sources in my biography as they both have experiments that show proof and credibility that African American girls have bad experiences. This information is reliable as it not only has experiments but it also talks about specific acts, and policies that are useful to this information. Overall the goal of this source is to educate people on the experiences African American girls endure at school. Overall this source is very helpful as it has good information based on specific policies inflicted. This source is also something I can relate to being an African American girl in pwi. This is helpful to my overall question and the underlying problem of how African Americans are treated in pwis. Even though this only gives information toward girls, it's still helpful as I wanted povs from both men and women. It hasn't really changed how I see my topic, it just has given me more insight, and a new perspective on policies.

This book discusses racism in universities, mainly zooming in on African American males in predominantly white institutions shows multiple forms of credibility, discussing different types of data that they used to further their information such as graphs, interviews, and also digging into literature and the meaning behind specific slurs or words used to degrade African Americans. Topics like racism in classrooms are discussed, and how it can affect African american males later on in their lives or careers. The source also talks about money and financial backgrounds, as using the statistical studies they were able to see how there are more African American males with lower financial access than those not of color. Giving those of color less opportunities than those who have more money. The source is research documented, and it's an article from American Journal. I would say this source is useful, as its focus group is on African American males, rather than the race as a whole. It narrows into more details which can be helpful for future research. With other sources in my bibliography it compares fairly well as they all have the same sort of aspects, but the main difference as stated before would be this document narrowing on the male gender. I would say the information is reliable as it uses scientific facts and charts to prove its points throughout, having accuracy to back up its claims made throughout. I'm not sure if the writers would be biased since they did use charts as well as facts to back up their claims, but both people seem to be african american or a person of color, so it could be seen as bais, but throughout the research document you don't see any form of their opinion. Overall what I have read so far has been interesting and helpful, especially the financial background as it gave me aspects to think about, and even added to my podcast. This source is helpful to my underlying problem of how African Americans are treated in predominantly white schools because it helps zoom in on the experiences that specific genders have and not just the race as a whole. It hasn't changed how I see my topic, it only helped give me more information that I could possibly use in my podcast.

Woldoff, Rachael A., et al. “Black Collegiens at a Predominantly White Institution: Toward a Place-Based Understanding of Black Students’ Adjustment to College.” Journal of Black Studies, vol. 42, no. 7, 2011, pp. 1047–79. JSTOR, http://www.jstor.org/stable/41304573. Accessed 9 Dec. 2024. https://www.jstor.org/stable/41304573

The main argument of this article is that African Americans tend to adjust differently than those not of color for college. It gives specific reasons as to why these things may be happening, for example talking about how a good amount go into college without an open mind due to financial reasons, or how they struggle to find resources such as SAT prep or a private tutor. It goes into detail on how this can affect one's self esteem hurting them as they continue their life into college. This source is research documented, and its an article from an academic journal. This source is useful as it gives you new aspects and things to think of when regarding college,such as emplfiying how important your mindset is. This information is reliable as it's on a reliable site, as well as it includes some statistics that are facts used to prove their point further. I'm not able to find information on the writer Mrs.Waldorf, so I'm not sure if the information is biased. The overall goal of this source is to educate people on how not every college transitioning experience is the same. In my opinion this source is useful, but it is repetitive with other sources I have read, such as them talking about how finances can play a big role in college or experiences african americans have in general. This source is helpful to my underlying problem as it continues to dig deep into the experiences african american have at different times pwi institutions. This has not changed how i view my topic because as stated before a lot of the stuff is repetitive.
