The African-American male faces several challenges while working towards the attainment of success in many aspects of today s society. Regardless of social status, the Black male s experiences in the legal system, educational environment, and in the work place can be described as stressful due to the presence or stereotypes, prejudice, and racism.

Identified themes derived from the study that impact the resilience of African-American male senior administrators are the following: the importance of mentoring relationships,the value of a supportive family, a positive self-esteem, possession of integrity, the significance of a diversity friendly work environment, ownership of a passion for working in higher education, perseverance despite racism and stereotypes, and the preparedness for a heightened level of scrutiny as a result of being an African-American male.
