Analyzing the circumstances surrounding the creation and
development of the Atlanta University System, this book shows how
philanthropists' positive involvement created a unique higher
educational center for black Americans that exists nowhere else in
the nation.
This work describes and analyzes the circumstances surrounding the
creation and development of the Atlanta University System (later
the Atlanta University Center). The affiliation in 1929 of Atlanta
University, Morehouse College, and Spelman College was a monumental
event, and John Hope, the first black president of both Morehouse
College and Atlanta University--and simultaneously president at
both of them--was key to its taking place. In recounting the
circumstances surrounding the affiliation, Vida L. Avery brings to
the fore a little-told aspect of the affiliation: the relationships
Hope cultivated with industrial philanthropists of his time. These
relationships went beyond the simple categories of benefactor and
recipient, playing a major role in creating a unique higher
educational center for black Americans.
This volume centers on the lives and experiences of female and
African American leaders of foundations and nonprofits.
Contributors to the volume examine race and gender as constructs
and provide a theoretical background for understanding their effect
on the psycho-social development of the individuals.
