It was concluded that the single most important concern of contributors to The Journal of Negro Education during this time period was educational systems, a category which included among other sub-topics integration, self-concept, mainstreaming, and classroom management.

The purpose of this study was to classify the specific topic areas in The Journal of Negro Education from 1965 through 1979 using content analysis in an attempt to trace the changes in emphasis in education relative to problems associated with education of Blacks.

If America is to succeed in its declaration to guarantee "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" to all of its citizens, then America must complete the liberation of Black people begun in 1865. An American educational system that is relevant to Blacks must also recognize the relationship between education, employment and individual economic security. In addition, it is assumed that some form of integrated educational experience is likely to assist in transmitting and reaffirming the values necessary to cope in an integrated society. Liberation of Blacks depends greatly on solving the problem of racial integration in education. An examination of educational journals which deal primarily with Black liberation in education offers an historical accounting of concerns of Black educators.
