This study examined the effects of an empowerment intervention, Men as Teachers, on African American Head Start fathers. Fathers were randomly assigned to the empowerment program or to a control group in which participants viewed a five‐part videotape series on parenting. The results revealed a significant improvement in fathers' attitudes about their ability to teach their preschool‐age children for the experimental group only. There was no significant improvement in these fathers' attitudes about racial oppression socialization practices. Resident fathers in the experimental group showed significant gains in self‐esteem and parenting satisfaction.
