Funded by the Carnegie Corporation and the Ford Foundation, the Center conducted a detailed study of the language of Black children in Washington, DC. The study was designed to learn more about the characteristics of the language used by Black children from 6 to around 14 years of age and to use these findings to prepare instructional materials especially for these children.
