Session Submission Type: Panel Session
This panel focuses on efforts by African Americans to ensure a solid public education for their children. The first paper in this panel discusses early efforts to do so in the piedmont town of Durham from the postbellum era to the years following World War I. The other two papers analyze efforts to integrate public schools in rural counties in North Carolina, one in the east, Washington County, and the other in the mountainous west, Haywood County. As a whole, this panel provides a geographically diverse analysis of the black struggle for quality education in North Carolina.
