Hfi Class Speaks To Ebonics lssu~ B African-American La,nguage Class Discusses Importance Of 'Black Englis]r By VALYNCIA SAUNDERS Camp11s &litor What staned in Oakland, Calif.. as a controversial issue has once again emerged. This time at "the Mecca" of Black intelligentsia. Ebonics. or Black English, has not only found its place in Black cul1ure, but in Howard University's educational studies curriculum. Mary Rhodes Hoover teaches the only African-American Language and Literacy course offered at the University or any other hislorically Black college or university. With only five students seated in her School of Edu• cation office, Hoover hopes to reach out to future and current educators. ''After America has long passed from the scene. there will sti ll be Black people," said Hoover, chatting in a circle of graduate students. "We wan1 to study how we can become the kind of speakers that can reach people." A former dean in the School of Education. Hoover received her masters degree in language education from Stanford University. where Black Eng lish has been studied extensively. Due to her experience in language and literacy in Black education, Hoover was chosen to serve as a language con sultant in Oakland when the school board proposed its Ebonics program last December. Inspired by her former Howard professor, Sterling Brown, Hoover now returns to Howard to disseminate information she feels is vital to Black educators and Black children. In a room lined with shelves of texts and journals on Black education and literacy. Hoover discusses the differences between standard English and Ebonics. Having classified Ebonics into public and private sectors of the English language, Hoover said it posesses a tone and style typical of African Amer icans. "Public Ebonics is approved in all domains," Hoover said. "Ebonics is only approved in oral domains. not written domains." The cultural aspect is where Hoover said Ebonics becomes an accepted form of communication. "I couldn ·1 go home if I tried 10 talk like Bryant Gumblc," she hllid. But learning standard English is just as imponant, she said. "I've always thought students should be taught Standard English," Hoover said. "We can keep aspects of the phonology. What we want (the children we teach] to get is Public Ebonics." A 1974 survey conducted by Hoover showed that out of 80 Blnck par Lar ents interviewed. the majority approved of Ebonics in infonnal situations Wh but not in public settings. Hoover said it is imponant that parents as well as children understand the problems concerning literacy among Blacks. "There's a 46 percen1 illiteracy rate among African Americans," Hoover said. "The teachers who understand the language have students with high er language scores. There's a clear connection." Some Howard students currently enrolled in the course said they now Mary Rhodes Hoover teaches the only African-American language literacy course ottered at any HBCU. understand this connection between culture, language and literacy in Black America. hopes her course, which is curren1ly an electi\'c, will become n required 10 students who come to school ~peaking a non-standard ,ariety ·•1 relate (Ebonics] to pan of my identity which I will not be robbed of," otl[I class for education majors. lish is a national disgrace," Taylor said. said Anita Perkins. a graduate student in the School of Education.
