Black Women in Higher Education

Introduction

Throughout the history of blacks in America, various black women have made their contribution for the development of the higher education through schools, group and common liberties organizations.

The parts of huge numbers of their commitments from the frontier period to the present are incorporated in Contributions of Black Women to America. Obviously, the reference itself inclusive education recognizes a condition of past and present where education has been and continues to be a field of exclusion, privilege, and promotion of inequality. This shows at least two key issues for our discussion: the first is that modern buildings Nationality and Citizenship from the start character involved exclusions ethnic, racial, class and gender, the second is that public education in the capitalist modernity is constituted based on an ambiguity where education on the one hand serves as a means of mobility and social upward mobility, and on the other side is a mechanism to reproduce inequalities of class, race, ethnicity, and gender.

In this line, a number of interrelated principles that should suggest guide dialogue for the sake of inter-cultural democracy that we hold here, I refer to the relationship between democracy and difference, and between difference and inequality. That is, the commitment to inclusive higher education that moves us to participate in this dialogue, necessarily involves a thorough review of the reasons for root and the wider implications of the fact both ethnic and racial diversity and cultural this country, as the inequalities that have lived and still live the majority Afro-descendant and Indigenous in Colombia and in the rest of the America.
