abstract
The times are changing in the United States, especially with the recent election of our country's first African American president. Perceptions of African Americans and other minorities throughout the nation are shifting and changing viewpoints. The purpose of this study is to reveal the relationships between perception and reality in regards to minorities, in terms of race and economic status and that effect on the primary divisional factor that causes a gap between minorities and whites and rich and poor, which is education. Areas that have been specifically examined are the effect of President Obama in the media as a minority figure, increasing diversity in the workforce, national economic and educational priorities, educational programs and cultural influences, all culminating to highlight the progress made in this country on tightening the educational gap, the current state of it and where it is headed in the near future. note
