- Abstract:
- Even though there have been numerous advancements in employment opportunities for African American women there have also been many setbacks. Social movements brought on by the pandemic put issues in the faces of American citizens and can no longer be ignored. Whether or not members of society agree or disagree with the Black Lives Matter, or Me Too Movements they are here to stay. African American women working in higher education witness and endure infractions and microaggressions performed against them and other people of color daily (Muhs et al., 2012). These challenges will be investigated highlighting African American women working in higher education and how they deal with racism. This paper will explore how African American women have managed to progress and be successful while learning to cope with adversity.
