In this first comprehensive history of black education in New York
State, Carleton Mabee contributes to a fuller understanding of the
role blacks have played in American education. As he says in the
final chapter, "This agonizing narrative, stretching over more than
three centuries, reveals not only the severe limits as to what
education by itself can achieve, but also significant improvement
in the education of blacks-halting and limited improvement, to be
sure, but nevertheless improvement, and thus can give us hope."
Mabee discusses colonial church-sponsored efforts to educate
slaves, the work of nineteenth-century white abolitionists in
promoting black education, and the role of both blacks and whites
in developing public schools and other kinds of schools for blacks.
Extensive research into primary sources provides new insights into
the major nineteenth- century school issues as they related to
blacks in the state. Mabee also examines the impact of the "Great
Migration" of blacks into the state in the early twentieth century
and the revival of segregated schools that followed.
