Description: This book is a political investigation into the historical and ideological foundations of Black education. It situates Black education within the context of America's rise to corporate-industrial power in the latter half of the 19th century and the first part of the 20th century. It argues that Black education was indispensable to the political unity and progress of the nation following the Civil War and into the twentieth century. Using the biographies of White power brokers who shaped Black education to tell the story, this book looks at the influence of political power and money to affect public policy and especially education.
