Excerpt:

The Action Council on Minority Education which issued this Plan includes minority and nonminority educators, union officials, business leaders, and policymakers. We choose to speak with a minority voice throughout most of this Plan to emphasize the vital importance of reflecting a minority perspective in the national debate on educational change. For too long, minorities have borne the brunt of the nation's educational failures, with little or no say over how our children are educated. With this Plan, we as Americans seek to assume a leading role in the national effort to create a new kind of learning system that recognizes the value and potential of all children.
