Varied Vantage Points of the Utility of Black Education in the 19th and 20th Centuries
Fri, Oct 7, 8:30 to 9:50am, Richmond Marriott Hotel, Richmond Marriott Hotel JeffersonSession Submission Type: Panel Session
Abstract
This panel examines the ways African Americans in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries grappled with securing and defining education in their communities. Our panel demonstrates how education was not a static concept given the restrictions of each historical moment. Geographic location, gender dynamics, and conversations about black nationalism and integration heavily influenced the construction(s) of black education in the antebellum North, post-Reconstruction Upper South, and in Mississippi and California after the Brown decision.
