Educational Horizons, v58 n1 p53-58 Fall 1979

Test materials in English and social studies, reflecting Black and White culture, were developed and administered to Black and White high school students. Analyses of variance indicated that performance by either group was not affected by Black or White culture content. White examinees scored higher on all tests. (SJL)
