In this monograph, early members of the Caucus describe its history through the first 25 years, 1973-97, in 15 chapters distributed among sections on Caucus history, teaching and mentoring, publications and research-related issues, and supportive academic institutions. The volume celebrates the accomplishments of the Caucus while also revisiting challenges that have arisen both internally and through membership in the SRCD parent organization. Key thematic issues include: cultural deficit versus cultural difference; linkages between poverty, race, and empowerment; advocacy versus objectivity in scientific research; and how the cultural or racial identity of the researcher informs scientific knowledge.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe collaborations of Caucus members and others in SRCD modified the lens through which children of racially and ethnically diverse backgrounds are portrayed in the scientific literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eUra Jean Oyemade Bailey\u003c\/b\u003e, Graduate Professor of Human Development\u003cbr\u003e and Director of the Center for Drug Abuse Research, Howard University.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeraldine Kearse Brookins\u003c\/b\u003e, President of Changing Dynamics, Jackson,\u003cbr\u003e Mississippi, and past Director of the Merrill-Palmer Institute, Wayne State\u003cbr\u003e University.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrace Carroll\u003c\/b\u003e, Education Consultant based in Oakland, California.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAline M.
