For the first time in the history of the United States of America, African-American Women have surpassed all groups in college entrance based upon race and gender. Isn’t that startling? As reported by the US Census, for the first time in the history of data collection by the National Center of Education Statistics, Black women have surpassed every other group in this country based upon race and gender, that’s what that means. Certain websites claim that this statistics is being misinterpreted, but what they are unaware of is that the more black women enroll in college, the higher the percentage that is likely to graduate and attain education to the maximum level.

But then, what is the significance of this? why should black women in the United States be proud of this achievement? And most importantly, what role does the increase of black women education play? Does the education of black women have an impact on black families and communities? Naturally, the insight a woman takes on situations is totally different from that which a man takes. The role of a mother in the life of a child is different from the role of the father. By default, the mother is the parent that tends to instill home training and manners and morals in the child as opposed to the father, being a helping hand except in cases when the father is the single parent in charge of the child.

Therefore, if more black women gain education, there is a better chance that the image of the black family and community will be less judged according to situation. When more black women are educated, the rate at which school drop-outs, street walkers, drug dealers, murderers - acts of which are mostly associated with the black race, by the community - will dwindle. More educated black women equals a more educated black society, a more moralized black community and above all a more educated world.
