"Since Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 Americans have viewed school integration
as a central tenet of the black civil rights movement. Yet, school integration was
not the only-or even always the dominant-civil rights strategy. At times, African
Americans also fought for separate, Black-controlled schools dedicated to racial uplift,
community empowerment, and self-determination. An African American Dilemma offers
a social history of debates over school integration within northern Black communities
from the 1840s to the present. This broad geographical and temporal focus reveals
that northern Black educational activists vacillated between a preference for either
school integration or separation during specific eras. Yet, as there was never a consensus,
this study also highlights the chorus of dissent, debate, and counter-narratives that
pushed families to consider a fuller range of educational reforms. A sweeping historical
analysis that covers the entire history of public education in the North, this study
complicates our understanding of school integration by highlighting the diverse perspectives
of Black students, parents, teachers, and community leaders all committed to improving
public education. It finds that Black school integrationists and separatists have
worked together in a dynamic tension that fueled effective strategies for educational
reform and the black civil rights movement. This study draws on an enormous range
of archival data including the black press, school board records, social science studies,
the papers of civil rights activists, and court cases"
