Approximately 500 students, parents, educators, administrators and educational policy makers, representing over 26 cities throughout the nation, convened at a na tional education con ference in Detroit and developed strategies to reduce the increasing pro blem of the black student failure syndrome.

Conference delegates were charged by several persons addressing the conference to take necesssary action to im prove the educational system for black youth. Speaking at the parley were: Congressman Walter Fauntroy (D-D.C), chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus; Dr. Vincent Reed, assistant secretary designate for Elementary .and Secondary, U.S. Department of Education; Dr. Mary Berry, honorary co-chairperson of the con ference and commissioner and vice-chairperson of the U.S. Commission of Civil rights; Ms. Maria Wright Edelman, presi dent of the Children's Defense Fund; and Dr. Benjamin Mays, honorary , co-chairperson of the con ference and president emeritus of Morehouse College. The conference p? ticipants were grouped in to "teams" from the target areas. Each team consisted of a student, parent, educator or ad ministrator from the same locality. The teams met in working session, identify ing educational con cernsproblems and deter mining ways to handle the matters. A variety of projects were developed by the conference participants to improve black students' self-esteem and to gain more parental involve ment. Some of the sug gested projects are to ex pose the students to black history both at home and in our school; to imple ment "yes I can"activities; to expose students to positive black role models; and to con duct parental training pro grams. In addition to the youth team members, over 400 youth from the states of Michigan and Ohio par ticipated in a teen con ference which discussed motivation and student rights and responibilities., " Key issues expressed by the youth participants were: , racism, teenage pregnancy and teenage sexuality. Dr. Arthur Thomas, vice president for Academic Affairs at Cen tral State University, em phasized to the youth the importance of learning black history and striving for academic excellence. .Attorney Junious Williams facilitated the workshop on student rights and responsibilities. A ' general consensus also shared by conference participants was thai black youth need not only a formal education, but that students need to be taught survival skills on how to make it as citizens 'in the community, encom passing how to make a ' decision, problem solving, basic communication skills, understanding the ability to compete, etc. It was suggested that this could Jbe achieved through exposing youth to many . aspects of life (outside of classroom instruction) andor by adding such concerns to a school's cur riculum. It was also suggested that school administrators consider continuous train ing programs for teachers which aim for maintaining teacher competency. Ms. Mona Humphries Bailey, national president of Delta Sigma Theta, presented educational leadership awards to the conference honorary co chairpersons. Dr. Berry and Dr. Mays. Other persons par ticipating in the weekend conference were: Chuck . " . '. I . ' t v:. v ' ' ' ' - - . '
