Partnership with a School System to Implement an Africentric Rites of Passage Program for Middle School Black Boys
Williams, Otis; Davis, Julius; Cox, Mark
Psychology in the Schools, v60 n12 p5099-5114 2023
This article shares how three African-centered Black men partnered with a school system to develop and implement an Africentric rites of passage program for seventh- and eighth-grade Black male students. The proposed school-based intervention aimed to socialize, educate, and cultivate Black boys in preparation for manhood. Theoretically, the conceptual framework was anchored in African paradigms from Afrocentricity, Kawaida, and Pan-Africanism. The authors provided an overview of the program, which included the program structure, activities, and events. We concluded with a discussion of program challenges and recommendations for future research and program implementation.
