This book documents ten years of the Phelps-Stokes Fund, which surveyed private and higher schools for colored people in the United States, with special attention to adaptations and improvements. The authors investigate the broad educational landscape for African Americans, including buildings and grounds, finances, staffing, and administration. This book places the segregated educational system for African Americans within the context of the early 20th century United States, showing the realities and challenges for a population recently freed from slavery, and living under the system of Jim Crow. The authors' deep dive into each school's individual story reveals the evolution of the educational path for African Americans with the changing times. The book is invaluable for understanding the genesis and evolution of the educational possibilities for African Americans, and how these schools adapted techniques, curricula, and educational philosophies from their white counterparts, even in the face of immense adversity.
