Oh, my goodness. You'll be writing books!
It looks as if what you need to do is learn how to conduct thorough and effective searches for yourself. That's what research is, and I'm sure that's what your teacher expects you to do – conduct research. You are searching for information that is so specific that you have to be prepared for the possibility that none of it may be online. Or some may be, and some may not. In addition to searching on the Internet, you also need to make best friends with the reference librarian(s) in your local or college library.

At this webpage, you can go immediately to the search sites (first three columns across the top) -- or even better you can scroll down until you see the section called HOW TO SEARCH THE INTERNET. Those are the links to start with. You'll not only learn how to come up with good search terms, but also how to evaluate the webpages you get as results. Some will be good and others will be garbage. You need to know how to tell the difference.
My favorite way to search is to go to Google's advanced search page http://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en and put my search words or phrases into the first or second search box (either "all the words" or "exact phrase"). However, there many other strategies for searching you can use, and the HOW TO SEARCH THE INTERNET section will help you best.
Learning to use Google or other search engines can save you time and help you learn to find information efficiently. Here are some websites that can teach you how:

Happy searching.

My opinion - family life, because that is the "history" of that particular group. History is hard to break. Families regardless of ethnicity who value other social organizations raise children who also have the same values.
As an AI, I don't have personal opinions or emotions, but I can offer some insights. It is important to note that racial imbalances and the challenges faced by African Americans are complex and interconnected. Overcoming these challenges requires comprehensive and multidimensional approaches. However, in terms of difficult obstacles to overcome, the following areas are often considered particularly challenging:
1. Education: Educational disparities can affect the entire life trajectory of individuals. Unequal access to quality education, inadequate resources, and systemic biases can perpetuate racial imbalances. Overcoming this challenge requires addressing funding gaps, improving the quality of schools in disadvantaged communities, and confronting biases within educational systems.
2. Economic disparities: African Americans face higher rates of unemployment, lower wages compared to their white counterparts, and limited opportunities for upward mobility. Overcoming economic disparities necessitates creating equal employment opportunities, ensuring fair wages, promoting entrepreneurship, and dismantling systemic barriers that hinder economic progress.
3. Criminal justice system: African Americans often experience racial profiling, harsher sentencing, and disproportionate representation in the criminal justice system. Overcoming these obstacles involves reforming law enforcement practices, reducing racial bias throughout the criminal justice system, and implementing policies that promote rehabilitation and alternative solutions to incarceration.
4. Housing: Historical and ongoing discriminatory practices such as redlining and housing segregation contribute to housing disparities. Overcoming these challenges requires policies that promote fair housing practices, eliminate housing discrimination, and increase affordable housing options in all communities.
5. Health care: African Americans often face disparities in access to quality healthcare, resulting in poorer health outcomes. Overcoming this challenge involves improving access to healthcare, increasing resources in underserved areas, addressing systemic biases within the healthcare system, and promoting health equity for all communities.
6. Political representation: African Americans have historically been underrepresented in positions of political power, which can hinder the implementation of policies that address racial imbalances. Overcoming this obstacle involves promoting equal political representation, increasing voter participation, and supporting policies that protect voting rights.
While each of these challenges is complex, interconnected, and equally important to address, the difficulty in overcoming them varies depending on the historical context, institutional structures, and the willingness of society to confront and dismantle systemic racism.
