Literacy and Black Woman

1996 reported the 25% of the worlds population is illiterate, Woman comprise of 60% of that group and Black woman comprise of 44% of that illiterate group.

The factor of male superiority and male standings is no longer an excuse, for in the society and nation we live in woman hold top leadership positions in our standing as a nation. Woman are present in the white house, government jobs, schooling, and the most high of positions in many top companies and up holdings. Prime historical individual is Condoleezza Rice. She is the second woman to be US secretary of state and holds the highest most powerful position in the presidential cabinet. No way is it possible for her as an African American republican to state her views and uphold her position if she had no literacy characteristics that are stronger and better fixed than her peers. Now as for African American woman it's another standing. The view on woman alone is seen frequently as the second- class citizen (sex-role stereotype). We have come from the roots up from mistreatment. We must over come all negative stereotypes on behalf of our dwellings in knowledge and leadership. And we have taking big steps in society yet many are still holding the image of a drop-out or underachiever happy in the state their living, and not wanting to better ones self. That image consist of stories and examples of woman getting pregnant and dropping out of school, ending their schooling literacy, the illiterate female whom does nothing but lounges at home and makes babies and cleans up the house. Once pregnant or dropped out of school, there is always regime for you to pick up your studies again, and again, and again until you obtain your destined degree. The educational opportunities that once flourished only for men and of white men and woman is now open to the public, no man should knock ones desires down, especially one whom has a right head on their shoulders.

Michelle Obama is especially trying to attack the literacy world for children and adults. To better a nation the Obamas have mentioned and have broadcasted and personally addresses universities and family organizations the stressing of knowledge and education. It's key to progress and it's key to making a difference in the world. As the opposed slaves of this nation by being female and black literacy is a must to uphold power in this nation. We know and must work harder than whats expected and we have head idols to look upon that have laid their marks for us to walk and run rapid on.
