_ According to Dr. Shockley (2008), Black students in U.S. schools are disproportionately placed in special education classes and represent:

 17% of the total U.S. school population

36% of the students who get suspended from school

32% of the students who are expelled from school (p. 6)

 African ancestors say, “When you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there! If you do not claim your African self, anyone can come along, tell you who you are, and then get you to fulfill their agenda.” (Shockley, 2008)
