This volume examines the evolution of higher education
opportunities for African Americans in the early and mid-twentieth
century. It contributes to understanding how African Americans
overcame great odds to obtain advanced education in their own
institutions, how they asserted themselves to gain control over
those institutions, and how they persisted despite discrimination
and intimidation in both northern and southern universities.
Following an introduction by the editors are contributions by
Richard M. Breaux, Louis Ray, Lauren Kientz Anderson, Timothy Reese
Cain, Linda M. Perkins, and Michael Fultz.
Contributors consider the expansion and elevation of African
American higher education. Such progress was made against heavy
odds--the "separate but equal" policies of the segregated South,
less overt but pervasive racist attitudes in the North, and legal
obstacles to obtaining equal rights.
