The research is clear about the fact that African American students are more successful academically and socially when they have at least one Black teacher. So too is the research about the positive impact Black male teachers (BMTs) have on boys of color. What has remained a mystery to many is why there are not more BMTs. This study asks current BMTs in Dayton Public Schools (DPS), a predominantly African American school district, why they became teachers and why they believe other Black men do not. Their experiences and opinions were captured and used to craft a plan of action to recruit and retain more BMTs to DPS. Some of the common suppositions about why more Black men do not go into teaching were not supported by the DPS interviewees. For example, while higher pay was mentioned as an inducement to attract more BMTs, more emphasis was based on Black families' commitment to 4-year degrees, access to educational opportunities, and the support, or lack thereof, Black men receive when they go into teaching. Just as interestingly, the stakeholders, all of whom are Black men thriving in various social service or educational capacities in Dayton, stated that their educational experiences as a young student not only played a major role in guiding their career paths, but they all assigned increased value to Black educators they encountered in their youth.

According to Robert L. Smith, "the achievement gap separating black boys from just about everyone else springs from a powerful, anti-education culture rising in the black community. Parents who undervalue education, and a mass media that peppers youth with the quick, shallow rewards of hip-hop lifestyle, are steering alarming numbers of boys down a dead-end path." Erik Eckholm explained that "terrible schools, absent parents, racism, the decline in blue collar jobs, and a subculture that glorifies swagger over work have all been cited as causes of the deepening ruin of black male youth." They also appear to be a large part of the reason why "nationwide, the percentage of black male teachers is 2.4 percent," according to the National Education Association in 2008. Rather than becoming teachers, Bernard Carver explained that "a growing and alarming number of African American males are either become victims of negative circumstances (e.g., dropping out of school at an early age, being sent to penal institutions, or succumbing to urban violence) or becoming participants in activities that are counterproductive to their development (e.g., involving drugs and gangs)."Black males are generally alienated as students by and from the American public education, and, as a result, are also alienated as potential educators. Janice Hale explained that "African American [male] children do not enter school disadvantaged, they leave disadvantaged. There's nothing wrong with the children but there is clearly something wrong with what happens to them in school." For one, the absence of Black male role models in the classroom is serious obstacle to the education of Black boys. "In order to be a Black man, you have to see a Black man," wrote Jawanza Kunjufu, who estimated that Black men make up less than 2 percent of all public school teachers. "Without Black men role models, our boys learn to see school as for girls and sissies."In addition, Tawannah Allen wrote that "African American male students have traditionally received the most negative treatment by public educators" and, consequently, chronically underachieve academically. Welsing confirmed that "it is little wonder that 98% of all of the Black male children I talk with, who have reached the junior high school level, hate school. Schools and their personnel, like all other aspects of the racist system, do their share to alienate Black males from maximal functioning."

It is high time for more diversity in education, diversity that includes thorough, articulate, Black males. Contrary to popular belief, the need for a strong emergence of Black male teachers is not only for the benefit of Black boys and Black girls. Children and parents of all races and both genders need to be introduced to the antithesis of the stereotypical Black man and build strong, healthy relationships that will be the means for greater racial and ethnic harmony.
