African American men have historically been underrepresented in higher education enrollment, and this lack of postsecondary attainment has contributed to a variety of different lifestyle and quality of life inequities. The current study explored how highly educated African American men succeeded in getting to, and graduating from, college. The study was grounded in the framework of community expectancy, and the qualitative data collected from interviews supported the notion that many elements that impact educational pursuits are factors beyond the immediate control of an individual. Study findings particularly highlighted the roles of mentors, the church, formal education, and social engagement and choices as being critical to creating opportunities and attitudes about postsecondary education.
