African Americans now make up about 10 percent of all homeschooled children in this fastest-growing form of education.” ( Ama Mazama,2015 ) More blacks tend to choose homeschooling today due to discrimination. According to the research by Ama Mazama, an associate professor and the director of graduate programs for the department of African-American Studies at Temple University, African Americans are forced to study separately with the majority students, just like the time before the Civil Rights Movement.

The article written by Tess Owen, “Black and Hispanic people more likely to be victims of police brutality, study says”, also talks about African Americans are the victims of police brutality. “ ‘For much of the 20th century,’ Fryer writes, ‘law enforcement chose to brazenly enforce the status quo of overt discrimination, rather than protect and serve all citizens.’” (Tess Owen,2016) Another research
