In "Black Scholar," Wayne J. Urban chronicles the distinguished
life and career of the historian, teacher, and university
administrator Horace Mann Bond. Urban illuminates not only the man
and his accomplishments but also the many issues that confronted
him and his colleagues in black education during the middle decades
of the twentieth century. After covering the major events of Bond's
youth, Urban follows him from his student years at Lincoln
University and the University of Chicago through his work for the
Julius Rosenwald Fund to his subsequent administrative leadership
at several black institutions, including Fort Valley State College,
Lincoln University, and Atlanta University.
Among the many details Urban discusses are Bond's prodigious
early output of scholarly books and articles, his enduring concern
about the biases of intelligence testing, his work on preparing the
NAACP's court brief for the "Brown v. Board of Education"i case,
and his career-long interest in what he felt were the affinities
between modern-day Africans and African Americans--the one
struggling to break free from colonialism, the other from
segregation.
