Abstract: I had a dream … That I published an article about the aspirations of high school students by race and gender, using the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 Sciences, National Center for Education Statistics. Subsequently, there was a flood of news articles with the headlines, “More than 50 percent of Black male 9th graders want to go to college” or “Black male 9th graders more likely to desire college than White males.” The authors of these articles talked about the potential of helping these young men realize their dreams. They also gave commentary on what the Black community needs to do to help the next generation of first-generation college students. The comment sections were filled with people applauding young Black students who want to do the right thing, while giving meaningful suggestions about how to help Black students who remain ambivalent about their future.
