Abstract

This piece includes research and an in- depth analysis of the African American voting bloc with the independent variable being whether or not the voter has obtained a post-secondary education. The Black voting bloc remains a vital, but understudied demographic in American history. The writing includes various scholarly statistics and in-depth research of the historic voting patterns of African-Americans. I have decided to test the theory of higher education having a positive correlation with African-American political participation in the form of interest. Throughout this piece the research aids in determining whether there is a positive, negative, or net correlation effect on the Black voting bloc and their obtainment of a post-secondary education. Within this piece, although we are focused on one aspect and proving or disproving its validity, we have taken into account the longstanding and historic challenges African Americans have faced that will always serve as an effect on this demographic's voting patterns overtime. This piece is to serve as a critical thinking and research based piece to add to, or flesh out the literature surrounding Black voting patterns. There have been statistics included from several different codebooks, textbooks, political-science journals, and many other academic resources.
