Following the work of Archibald D. Murphy, Wiley spearheaded the establishment of the office of Superintendent of Public Schools in 1852, a position he held until 1865. The author analyzes Wiley's efforts to improve educational opportunities for all North Carolinians while navigating the challenges of a slave state and the subsequent Civil War. The text presents a comprehensive account of Wiley's role in establishing a graded school system, advocating for equal pay for women teachers, and promoting the importance of education for both white and black students. Through archival research and contemporary accounts, the author offers a nuanced understanding of Wiley's contributions to public education and his ongoing legacy in shaping educational equity and access in the state.
