In 1978, V.P. Franklin and James D. Anderson co-edited New Perspectives on Black Educational
History. For Franklin, Anderson, and their contributors, there were glaring gaps in
the historiography of Black education that each of the essays began to fill with new
information or fresh perspectives. There have been a number of important studies on
the history of African American education in the more than three decades since Franklin
and Anderson published their volume that has pushed the field forward. Scholars have
redefined the views of Black southern schools as simply inferior, demonstrated the
active role Blacks had in creating and sustaining their schools, sharpened our understanding
of Black teachers' and educational leaders' role in educating Black students and themselves
with professional development, provided a better understanding and recognition of
the struggles in the North (particularly in urban and metropolitan areas), expanded
our thinking about school desegregation and community control, and broadened our understanding
of Black experiences and activism in higher education and private schools. Using Past
as Prologue highlight and expand upon the changes to the field over the last three
and a half decades. In the shadow of 60th annniversary of Brown v. Board of Education
and the 50th anniversary of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, contributors expand on the
way African Americans viewed and experienced a variety of educational policies including
segregation and desegregation, and the varied options they chose beyond desegregation.
The volume covers both the North and South in the 19th and 20th centuries. Contributors
explore how educators, administrators, students, and communities responded to educational
policies in various settings including K-12 public and private schooling and higher
education. A significant contribution of the book is showcasing the growing and concentrated
work in the era immediately following the Brown decision. Finally, scholars consider
the historian's engagement with recent history, contemporary issues, future directions,
methodology, and teaching. -- from back cover
