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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forty Years of the Public Schools in Mississippi: With Special Reference to the Education of the Negro In the babel of many voices arising in the South, it is difficult at times to determine just what is the attitude of the southern white people toward the education of the Negro. It is frequently asked: Do southern people believe that the Negro can and should be educated? What facilities have been provided for this purpose? Is the trend of public sentiment toward providing more adequate means for his education? Is the Negro child being discriminated against in the distribution of school funds? Does the progress of the race in the past fifty years justify the efforts that have been put forth to educate the Negro? 9.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on Negro Universities and Colleges In 1913 Mr. Williams published a Report on Negro Univer sities in the South (occasional Papers, No. Which included twenty-two institutions having the title of University. The present Report includes eighteen institutions having the title of University and fifteen having the title of College. It will be understood, of course, that the Report follows the official title. Payne and Selma, for example, are written under the head of Universities, although, as the Report states, these schools have neither college nor professional departments. It is important to have some revised information in regard to all these institutions, and I hope that this Report will be found useful. Mr. Williams is a graduate of Harvard University and as Field Director for the Slater Fund and the Jeanes Fund has had large experience in visiting and inspecting schools of all grades.

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.

Dubois in this field. For the earlier years the thesis, The Suppression of the African slave-trade, is really indispensable; and one of the chapters is largely based on the Atlanta Univer sity publication, The Negro Church. In a similar way is another chapter based upon the valuable study by Dr. R. R. Wright, In, entitled self-help in Negro Education. The last chapter is naturally much indebted to my own publication, The Negro in Literature and Art. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 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.

There is considerable ignorance, on the part of the white people of this country, of the intellectual ability of the Negro, and, as a consequence, the educated Negro does not receive, at the hands of the whites, that respectful consideration to which his education entitles him. Second. At this time, when the attainments made in the nineteenth century by the other races and nationalities are being paraded, the friends of the Negro are particularly interested to know something of the attainments made by him in that century.

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.
