Abstract	Stuttering places students at-risk for being stereotyped and experiencing identity difficulties in school. This study hoped to fill a lacuna in the literature on the educational experiences of African American male stutterers. Six African American adult males who stuttered and lived in Washington, DC; Maryland; and/or Virginia participated in this study. Three research questions directed this study: (1) How do speech or language impaired African American males describe their educational experiences?; (2) What coping strategies do African American males who stutter use in educational settings?; and (3) In what ways do educational experiences shape the lives of African American males who stutter? Critical race theory and life history methodologies were used to examine these males' experiences. Findings suggest that stuttering had a significant impact on the lives of the African American males, particularly within educational settings/contexts. Stuttering influenced these males' self-identities and how they navigated their careers. (As Provided).
