A forgotten migration: Black southerners, segregation scholarships, and the debt owed to public HBCUs / by Sanders, Crystalauthor.(CARDINAL)899535;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 209-222) and index."A Forgotten Migration tells the little-known story of 'segregation scholarships' awarded by states in the US South to Black students seeking graduate education in the pre-Brown v. Board of Education era. Under the Plessy v. Ferguson decision, decades earlier, Southern states could provide graduate opportunities for African Americans by creating separate but equal graduate programs at tax-supported Black colleges or by admitting Black students to historically white institutions. Most did neither and instead paid to send Black students out of state for graduate education. Crystal R. Sanders examines Black graduate students who relocated to the North, Midwest, and West to continue their education with segregation scholarships, revealing the many challenges they faced along the way. Students that entered out-of-state programs endured long and tedious travel, financial hardship, racial discrimination, isolation, and homesickness. With the passage of Brown in 1954, segregation scholarships began to wane, but the integration of graduate programs at southern public universities was slow. In telling this story, Sanders demonstrates how white efforts to preserve segregation led to the underfunding of public Black colleges, furthering racial inequality in American higher education"-- Provided by publisher.

To drink from the well : the struggle for racial equality at the nation's oldest public university / by Kapur, Geeta N.,1977-author.(CARDINAL)855670; Barber, William J.,II,1963-writer of introduction.(CARDINAL)408829;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 379-429).Foreword / by Rev. Dr. William Barber II -- New Hope Chapel Hill -- The Black Wall Street of America -- The Great Depression controversies -- Hot as blazes -- The University's daughter -- North Carolina's way out -- White people wake up -- Going up to Mount Sinai -- The Buzzard's roost -- Tired of trying to save the White man's soul -- Let freedom ring -- Turmoil, unrest, and struggle -- Epilogue."The University of North Carolina is the oldest public university in the US, with the cornerstone for the first dormitory, Old East, laid in 1793. At that ceremony, the enslaved people who would literally build that structure were not acknowledged; they were not even present. In fact, 158 years passed before Black students were admitted to this university in Chapel Hill, and it was another 66 years after that before students forcibly removed the long-criticized Confederate "Silent Sam" monument. Indeed, this university, revered in the state and the nation, has been entwined with white supremacy and institutional racism throughout its history-and the struggle continues today. To Drink from the Well: The Struggle for Racial Equality at the Nation's Oldest Public University explores the history of UNC by exposing the plain and uncomfortable truth behind the storied brick walkways, "historic" statuary, and picturesque covered well, the icon of the campus. Law professor and civil rights activist Geeta N. Kapur chronicles the racism within the university and traces its insidious effects on students, faculty, and even the venerable Tarheel sports programs. Kapur tells this story not as a historian, but as a citizen speaking to her fellow citizens. She relies on the historical record to tell her story, and where that record is lacking, she elaborates on that record, augmenting and deconstructing the standard chronology. Kapur explores both the Chapel Hill campus and a parallel movement in nearby Durham, where a growing Black middle class helped to create North Carolina Central University, a historically Black public university"--

Degrees of equality : abolitionist colleges and the politics of race / by Bell, John Frederick,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- Oberlin and the Trial of Interracial Education, 1835-1853 -- The Rise and Fall of New York Central College, 1848-1860 -- Oberlin's Black Alumnae and the New Birth of Freedom, 1852-1867 -- Berea and the Boundaries of Equality, 1866-1880 -- The Unraveling of Interracial Oberlin, 1874-1892 -- Berea's Race Problem, 1889-1895."The abolitionist movement not only helped bring an end to slavery in the United States but also inspired the large-scale admission of African Americans to the country's colleges and universities. Oberlin College changed the face of American higher education in 1835 when it began enrolling students irrespective of race and sex. Camaraderie among races flourished at the Ohio institution and at two other leading abolitionist colleges, Berea in Kentucky and New York Central, where Black and white students allied in the fight for emancipation and civil rights. After Reconstruction, however, color lines emerged on even the most progressive campuses. For new generations of white students and faculty, ideas of fairness toward African Americans rarely extended beyond tolerating their presence in the classroom, and overt acts of racial discrimination against Blacks grew increasingly common by the 1880s. John Frederick Bell's Degrees of Equality analyzes the trajectory of interracial reform at Oberlin, New York Central, and Berea, noting its implications for the progress of racial equality in nineteenth-century America. Drawing on student and alumni writings, institutional records, and promotional materials, Bell uses case studies to interrogate how abolitionists and their successors put their principles into practice. The ultimate failure of these social experiments illustrates a tragic irony of interracial reform, as the achievement of African American freedom and citizenship led whites to divest from the project of racial pluralism"--

The classics in black and white : Black colleges, classics education, resistance, and assimilation / by Goings, Kenneth W.,1951-author.(CARDINAL)192418; O'Connor, Eugene Michael,1948-author.(CARDINAL)886676;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction: Our Heritage Too -- The Formative Influences of Classical Culture in Colonial America and the Early Republic -- The Founding of Black Colleges and Universities and Their Classics Curriculums -- A Survey of the Classical Texts Read at Black Colleges and Universities -- The Classics as Tools of Empowerment and Resistance -- Practicality and the End of Classics -- Epilogue: Bridging Two Worlds."Following emancipation, African Americans continued their quest for an education by constructing schools and colleges for Black students, mainly in the U.S. South, to acquire the tools of literacy, but beyond this, to enroll in courses in the Greek and Latin classics, then the major curriculum at American liberal arts colleges and universities. Classically trained African Americans from the time of the early U.S. republic had made a link between North Africa and the classical world; therefore, from almost the beginning of their quest for a formal education, many African Americans believed that the classics were their rightful legacy. The Classics in Black and White is based extensively on the study of course catalogs of colleges founded for Black people after the Civil War by Black churches, largely White missionary societies and White philanthropic organizations. Kenneth W. Goings and Eugene O'Connor uncover the full extent of the colleges' classics curriculums and showcase the careers of prominent African American classicists, male and female, and their ultimately unsuccessful struggle to protect the liberal arts from being replaced by Black conservatives and White power brokers with vocational instruction such as woodworking for men and domestic science for women. This move to eliminate classics was in large part motivated by the very success of the colleges' classics programs. As Goings's and O'Connor's survey of Black colleges' curriculums and texts reveals, the lessons they taught were about more than declensions and conjugations-they imparted the tools of self-formation and self-affirmation"--
