In "Teaching Equality," Adam Fairclough provides an overview of the
enormous contributions made by African American teachers to the
black freedom movement in the United States. Beginning with the
close of the Civil War, when "the efforts of the slave regime to
prevent black literacy meant that blacks . . . associated education
with liberation," Fairclough explores the development of
educational ideals in the black community up through the years of
the civil rights movement. He traces black educators' connection to
the white community and examines the difficult compromises they had
to make in order to secure schools and funding. Teachers did not,
he argues, sell out the black community but instead instilled hope
and commitment to equality in the minds of their pupils. Defining
the term teacher broadly to include any person who taught students,
whether in a backwoods cabin or the brick halls of a university,
Fairclough illustrates the multifaceted responsibilities of
individuals who were community leaders and frontline activists as
well as conveyors of knowledge. He reveals the complicated lives of
these educators who, in the face of a prejudice-based social order
and a history of oppression, sustained and inspired the minds and
hearts of generations of black Americans.
