Book excerpt: The rise of accountability for the academic success of all students brought on by No Child Left Behind (NCLB) and corresponding state laws has made educators more aware of the need to reach every student. One sub-group of students often fall behind their Anglo counterparts, African Americans, in particular, males. The purpose of this study was to identify the factors that contributed to the academic success of six African American males who were high school seniors. The goal was to examine the commonalities through a lens of democratic practices to give voice to African American male students.
