| Abstract | A state legislature mandated study was done of the standing of African American males in California. The study was conducted by advisory committees and task forces, which conducted research and produced recommendations in the areas of employment, economic empowerment, criminal justice, education, health, and social services. The study also consulted with state and national experts in targeted areas, coordinated discussions of strategies to improve the condition of African American males, solicited funds for programs, and initiated working relationships with many types of community leaders and workers. The findings indicate that in every area studied African American males in California face more severe hardships than do their counterparts in other parts of the nation. The results include the following: (1) although only 3.7 percent of the state population, African American males constitute 33.8 percent of the prison population and 1.7 and 2.1 percent of enrollments at the University of California and California State University, respectively; (2) in the 20-24 year age bracket these males have an unemployment rate of 20 percent, with the recent loss of jobs disproportionately affecting African American men; and (3) African American males account for 12 percent of California's AIDS-related deaths in 1989. The report's six main sections, one on each of the target areas, provide an overview of the national and state environment, the status of the situation in California, and suggestions for further study. Included are three bar graphs. (JB) |
