| Abstract | One of the most significant problems facing science education is the under-representation of African Americans in science related fields (Young, 2005). African American constitute a little more than 12% of the United States population. However, as recently as 1999 African Americans only comprised only 3.4% of persons working in science and engineering related occupations (Young, 2005; NSF, 2004; Hrabowski & Pearson, 1993). These numbers indicate both a need for and a lack of African American presence within the scientific community. Our quality of life, the distinction that sets the citizens of the United States apart from the rest of the world, will be adversely affected by the lack of minority representation within these fields if the issues around this phenomenon are not effectively addressed.
