Summary:Population of African American Social Scientists The four African American social scientists in this study are scholars, who (1) have lived since the Supreme Court ruled in 1954 that segregated public schools were unconstitutional, (2) have earned a doctor of philosophy degree in an area of the social sciences, (3) have substantial academic training or teaching experiences in colleges and/or universities in the United States, and (4) have written about education and one of the study's central issues (e.g., racial integration or separation) and/or had their words or ideas on any of these issues presented, whether by themselves or others, in written form (e.g., books, professional journals, newspapers) since that Supreme Court decision. Several authors (Pinkney, 1976; Anderson, 1988) have reported that during this period, and in fact from the beginning of Reconstruction in the 1860s to the end of the civil rights movement in the 1960s, the underlying sentiment that informed the beliefs and practices of the majority of African Americans in regards to race relations was desegregation and integration.
