This book is very informative and I think all educators should be made to read it. Though it was first published just under 100 years ago, I believe much of what is written here still applies today (perhaps at a lesser degree), as the goal to keep Black people 'down' is a systemic problem that cannot be eradicated in a mere 100 years. This book is necessary for the education of educators, to show where the archaic ideas - about Blacks not having a right to education, not being able to learn, needing to work with his hands rather than acquiring head knowledge, "keeping the Negro in his place" - came from. This book serves as a history book of Black Education, to show us how far we have come in our perspective toward the education of Blacks, and ignite a desire in us to be part of the necessary changes to keep that momentum going. This book is well-written and well needed.

anyone who wants to learn about the history of education that was available to Black people, and how they were being educated.

how detailed the examples are and the statistics presented. It was interesting to read about the lower level of education being offered to the Blacks. They could become lawyers, but they were not educated to the same degree as the Whites, so no one would hire them.

I was charged up to find out what I could do to help us in the progression of education.

that we have come a long a long way, but we still have a long way to go.

wrote a very informative book; he laid it out very constructively, so topics could be followed easily.

It is a very well written book and informative.
