Racial Ideology and Black College Students' Leadership Experiences at a Historically White Institution

Abstract

Abstract:Within this study, we explored the relationship between racial ideology and leadership experiences of Black college student leaders at a historically white institution. Using a phenomenological approach, we sought to delineate the leadership experiences of Black college students as related to their racial identity. We provide evidence that racial ideologies influence the ways Black students express their leadership experiences. We close with recommendations for practice and future research.
