  In "Why Are Blacks Lagging?", Felicia Lee says that Black students are performing significantly lower than their other peers. The reason that is stated for Black students slacking performance is the approach that they take in school. This approach is the attitude that Black students have. The attitudes that Black students have in school are "those kinds of attitudes [that] reflect a long history of adapting to oppression and stymied opportunities" (Lee 1). This article is a key aspect of my PROBE paper because it reveals the racial divided between Black and White peers. Black students are lagging in every academic area compared to their White counterparts. This is seen when Lee states that "the black students have lagged behind whites in grade-point averages, test scores and placement in high-level classes" (2).
