Download or read book The Education of Blacks in the South 1860 1935 written by James D. Anderson and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2010-01-27 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Anderson critically reinterprets the history of southern black education from Reconstruction to the Great Depression. By placing black schooling within a political, cultural, and economic context, he offers fresh insights into black commitment to education, the peculiar significance of Tuskegee Institute, and the conflicting goals of various philanthropic groups, among other matters. Initially, ex-slaves attempted to create an educational system that would support and extend their emancipation, but their children were pushed into a system of industrial education that presupposed black political and economic subordination. This conception of education and social order--supported by northern industrial philanthropists, some black educators, and most southern school officials--conflicted with the aspirations of ex-slaves and their descendants, resulting at the turn of the century in a bitter national debate over the purposes of black education. Because blacks lacked economic and political power, white elites were able to control the structure and content of black elementary, secondary, normal, and college education during the first third of the twentieth century. Nonetheless, blacks persisted in their struggle to develop an educational system in accordance with their own needs and desires.

Download or read book Brief for the Higher Education of the Negro Classic Reprint written by Kelly Miller and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brief for the Higher Education of the Negro Ridicule and contempt have characterized the habitual attitude of the American mind toward the Negro's higher strivings. The African was brought to this country for the purpose of performing manual and menial labor. His bodily powers alone were required to accomplish this industrial mission. No more account was taken of his higher susceptibilities than of the mental and moral faculties of the lower animals. As the late Mr. Price used to say, the white man saw in the Negro's mind only what was apparent in his face, darkness there, and nothing more. His usefulness in the world is still measured by physical faculties rather than by qualities of mind and soul. The merciless proposition of Carlyle that, the Negro is useful to God's creation only as a servant, still finds wide acceptance. It is so natural to base a theory upon a long-established practice that one no longer wonders at the prevalence of this belief. The Negro has sustained servile relation to the Caucasian for so long a time that it it easy as it is agreeable to Aryan pride to conclude that servitude is his ordained place in society. When it was first proposed to furnish means for the higher development of this race, some, who assumed the Wisdom of thier day and generation, entertained the proposi tion with a sneer, others, with a smile.

This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Difficulties, Complications, and Limitations, Connected With the Education, of the Negro The most obvious hindrance in the way of the education of the negro has so often been presented and discussed his origin, history, environments - that it seems superfluous to treat it anew. His political status, sudden and unparalleled, complicated by antecedent condition, excited false hopes and encouraged the notion of reaching per saltum, without the use of the agencies of time, labor, industry, discipline, what the dominant race had attained after centuries of toil and trial and sacrifice. Education, property, habits of thrift and self control, higher achievements of civilization, are not extempor ized nor created by magic or legislation. Behind the Caucasian lie centuries of the educating, uplifting influence of civilization, of the institutions of family, society, the Churches, the State, and the salutary effects of heredity. Behind the negro are centuries of ignorance, barbarism, slavery, superstition, idol atry, fetichism, and the transmissible consequences of heredity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Education of the Negro: Its Rise Progress and Present Status; Being an Address Delivered Before the National Educational Association at Its Late Meeting at Chautauqua, N. Y Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: I come before you to-night to discuss a subject of the deepest public concern; and I am happy to know that my audience is composed of persons with minds broadened by culture, liberalized by learning and capable of weighing properly whatever may be advanced. I am happy, moreover, to believe that sufficient time has now elapsed for reason to begin to assert her sway, and that men of all sections of our common country are now prepared to hear with candor. This I shall expect of my present audience; and I do not believe I shall be disappointed. I promise on my part to exercise the same candor which I look for in you. African slavery, either fortunately or unfortunately, was introduced into the colony of Virginia in the year 1620 - two hundred and sixty years ago. Soon after, this example was followed by the other colonies; and not a great many years had elapsed before every one of them became slaveholding. The laws of climate, the laws governing the remunerativeness of negro labor, and other influences caused slavery soon to begin to gravitate Southward; and this movement continued till at the time the colonies declared themselves independent in 1776, the great bulk of the five hundred thousand negroes then in the country were to be found in the Southern States. The existence of slavery in the South formed the basis of a civilization in that section entirely distinct in many particulars from that found in the Northern portion of the Union. It early became evident that, as in the celebrated instance recorded in sacred history, two nations, as it were, were struggling to the birth. The difference in social influences, the difference in moral teachings, the difference in interest, the differences in the theories of the constitution generally held in the two sections, and, indeed, the difference in the entire surroundings separated very widely the two peoples. Each section misunderstood the other in a hundred particulars; and the obstacles to a better understanding constantly grew in magnitude as time moved on. The terrible war which followed, in which men of a common origin, priding themselves in a common history, cherishing the same glorious traditions, and of equal bravery met in deadly strife, - I do not propose to trace. Would that the horrors of that fearful period could be buried forever in oblivion, or, if remembered at all, that they might be recalled only for the useful lessons which they teach!

Download or read book The Problem of Negro Education Classic Reprint written by George R. Stetson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Problem of Negro Education Of all the questions which disturb the mental equanimity of the patriotic and thinking citizen of our Republic, none is looming in his horizon with a more lurid and portentous aspect than the black cloud of illiteracy which is rapidly spreading over the country, and especially resting upon the Southern States of the Union. Compared with it as an element of vital danger to the Republic, Mormonism, communism, and socialism, sink into obscurity. In spite of all public and private effort, and "all the appliances of education, the increase of illiterate voters in the South from 1870 to 1880 was 187, 671," and, adds President Hayes, "In more than one third of the Union the ignorant voters are almost one third of the total number of voters." The great factor in this illiteracy of the South is the negro. By the proclamation of President Lincoln in 1863 upwards of four millions of slaves were suddenly made free, and shortly after nearly one million were clothed with the rights, privileges, and responsibilities of American citizenship. With no correct notions of morals or religion, no accurate conception of the positive duties arising from citizenship, improvident and ignorant, the race was, and still is, entirely unprepared for the responsible duties of freemen; and, naturally, when called upon to govern, or to hold offices of trust, it has signally failed. The negro is not to blame for this, and is not blamed; his misfortune is understood, and by those who knew him best his failure was foreseen. The only way out of the unfortunate dilemma, or of ameliorating the condition in which the country is placed by the thrusting upon it of this mass of ignorance, is by education: an education both mental and moral. But here we are confronted by the great and all-important question: How shall the education of the negro be accomplished? By the States most directly interested, alone and unassisted? This, for various reasons, is at present impossible. By the usual philanthropic efforts and methods of our religious societies? They are entirely inadequate. Shall we depend upon the individual munificence of the Peabodys, the Tulanos, and Slaters? Their princely gifts are but drops in the great ocean of our needs.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Addresses on Negro Education in the South, Vol. 5 Some men of fine intelligence are too ready to despair of the benefits, the moral and intellectual advantages of education to the negro race. I am con strained to believe that these men are blinded by race prejudice, or suffering from a restricted personal narrowness. Within one generation of slavery, with no adequate teachers, with all the obstacles and horrors of the period of Reconstruction, when one side strove to make the negro politically dominant, and the other side fought to restore him to a condition of slavery, how can it be said that negro education has had a fair trial?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Negro and the Atlanta Exposition It is an interesting and a most hopeful sign of the times, that an Exposition on the soil of the old Slave States and managed by Southern white men, should have contained the first adequate exhibit ever made in this country of the progress and status of the American negro. When the directors of the Cotton States Exposition set apart one building on the grounds for a negro exhibit, and invited the negroes Of the whole country to organize, for the purpose Of showing what they could do, it was a formal recognition Of the fact that the negro was an integral part Of the South, and that on his progress in the arts Of civilization depended in some measure the progress of the section that the Exposition was intended to represent. On the side of the white man it was a gracious and a friendly act, and one that tended to promote harmony between the two races. On the negro's side, it was a test Of his abilities in many ways. In order to understand fully the desirability Of such a test, a brief review is necessary of the effect upon his own mental attitude, and upon that of the whites North and South, of his thirty years of freedom and Opportunity.

This book was released on 2013-09-17 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,7, Martin Luther University (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: The U.S. in the 1920s: Culture, Society, and Politics, language: English, abstract: Early 20th century America was a place where the African American had little or no say in society. Only 35 years after liberation the Negro was still struggling against race prejudices that amongst other things kept him from enjoying the same education as whites did. This discrimination had its roots in an obsolete worldview Americans had taken over from the late 19th century and according to which the Negro evolution had never passed the stage of savagery. To counteract this inflammatory discrimination Negro leaders like W.E.B. Du Bois and Booker T. Washington rose and gave proposals about the right program for Negro education. Although they differed considerably in their views, they aimed for the same goal; the advancement of the Negro race. Apparently, white leaders such as Thomas Jesse Jones, justifying their stance with scientific proof, constantly opposed them. In juxtaposing the different views this work is trying to shed light on the Negro’s struggle for education in early 20th century America. For this purpose a revision of contemporary literature, surveys, statistics and legal documents was of chief importance. The first part thus gives a preliminary account of the progressive debate that took place in the first years of the 20th century. Since whites based their discriminative attitude on evolutionary theory, a short summary of Lewis Henry Morgan’s Ancient Society is given, and it is shown to which extend it influenced contemporary thinking. The next part compares Thomas Jesse Jones’ recommendations on Negro education, derived from an extensive study he conducted, with W.E.B. Du Bois’ and Booker T. Washington’s views on that matter. The second part of this work starts out to give legal documentation on segregation in Americas’ schools that lead to extensive changes of the countries demography. At this point, the North with New York as the most progressive state is characterized as well as the more conservative South, where Cumming vs. Richmond Board of Education had a more negative impact on Negro education. The final part constitutes an overview of the actual achievements that Negroes made in their struggle for education. In that, not only elementary school education is being looked at but also high school and higher education.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Negro Education, Vol. 2 of 2: A Study of the Private and Higher Schools for Colored People in the United States The smaller cost of schools for colored children is partly due to the lower wage scale of colored teachers and partly to the very limited provision for high-school education. It is apparent, however, that these explanations by no means account for the wide divergencies in the black belt counties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Duty to the Negro He did not of his own motion make himself the issue of the civil war. Congressmen from the South and from New England discussed him, and worked themselves into a passion about him, which broke forth into a horrible contention of blood. In this contention he behaved himself with notable loyalty and service. He accepted the issues of the civil war as the settlement of a fear ful contention between the North and his Southern owners. He did not ask for the ballot. That was given to him by the white legislators of the nation. The use or misuse he may have made of the ballot was in obedience to the orders of those who passed the fifteenth amendment and made him a voter. In some of the Southern States the ballot has been taken from many of them, or, to be more accurate, constitutions have been so changed that only a small number of negroes can vote. This was done without their request, and those who have watched most closely the negroes to whom the ballot has been denied, must admit that they seem about as well satisfied not to vote as they were to vote. He had no choice in the matter of fixing his primary ideas of civilization. Beginning as a slave, he submitted to the ideas of his owner in those matters as well as in industrial matters. Under the laws of servitude which forced him to carry out the will of his owner, by a natural process he became an imitator of his master, and this easily became the method of his primary educa tion in civilization.
