This book is about the unique educational experience of an African
American segregated Catholic school in Mississippi from 1910 -1975.
The school was founded and administered by nuns and priests from
religious orders founded in Germany. This account focuses on the
period between the 1940s to the 1960s which included a description
and historical perspective of how despite the American apartheid
system in operation in Mississippi at that time, one Catholic
school with committed teachers and dedicated parents was successful
in educating African American children. The story recounted here is
not about the despair of growing up in Mississippi but about how a
quality educational experience yields great outcomes when the goals
of parents, teachers and the educational programs are intertwined.
The significance of this book can be found in the power of
integrating sound teaching, high expectations and strong parental
support. Lessons learned from this educational experience has
implications for the effective education of today's African
American children as well as a model of success for broader and
more heterogeneous student populations.
