Abstract
This capstone thesis urgently addresses the adverse cultural development of low-income Black males and their lack of academic success in higher education. Throughout the nation, the retention and graduation rates for Black males in higher education institutions remain low despite higher education diversity initiatives and internal resources to assist them during their college careers. This research will examine the historical systemic factors that contributed to Black males' academic struggles and how these factors shape their culturally opposing behavior toward the U.S. educational system. In addition, I will explore the national and community-based organizations that strategically implement core value solutions suggested by scholarly experts in this thesis paper.
