Abstract | This paper explores a facet of the organizational implications of an Afrocentric perspective in American education, primarily in public schools. It also explores, through two focus groups, the perceptions of 10 African-American school administrators and 10 teachers in a graduate education supervision class. The focus groups made it clear that the Afrocentric perspective in American education is an issue that has come of age; however, the data identified a few critical distinctions between administrators' and teachers' perceptions. Because of these differences in perspective, the argument arises that there is a need for Afrocentric resource centers within schools and educational systems and that the Afrocentric idea is an essential step toward progress and greater inclusion of Blacks into the American dream.
