Education crisis: Afrocentric vs. Christocentric

Cover Story | Black Christian educators in America's cities who face formidable external obstacles--gang violence, family breakup, a drug culture--are faced with a resurgent philosophical challenge: &quotAfrocentric" education. That worldview seeks black unity along racial lines, in stark contrast to what Christian educators in the city emphasize: unity in Christ. As Black History Month begins, WORLD reports on two inner-city efforts that place Calvary above country.

In this issue: "Fighting Cultural Ebonics," Feb. 1, 1997
