Revealing the significant gains made after the departure of the Freedmen’s Bureau, this study reevaluates African American higher education in terms of developing a cadre of public school educator-activists and highlights the centrality of urban African American protest in shaping educational decisions and policies in their respective cities and states.Reconstructing America (Series)UrbanizationSouthern StatesEducationSocial aspectsSouthern StatesSchoolsSouthern StatesHistoryAfrican AmericansEducationSouthern StatesHistorySouthern StatesRace relationsElectronic books.UrbanizationEducationSocial aspectsSchoolsHistory.African AmericansEducationHistory.371.829/9607509034Green Hilaryauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1031532DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910480929003321Educational Reconstruction2448937UNINA
