A major social and educational experiment in race relations was
conducted in Berea, Kentucky, from 1866 to 1904. During those years
Berea contained a community, school, and church which were all
fully integrated: white people, mostly from the Kentucky
Appalachian region, and black people, former slaves and their
children, from the Blue Grass country, lived, worked, and studied
together in an atmosphere designed to foster social equality. Sears
demonstrates that integration and social equality among the races
are not unrealizable ideals; at Berea in the second half of the
19th century these ideals were lived out in practical terms. The
Berea project was killed by state and federal legislation, not by
being intrinsically unworkable.
