Quality Public Schools: A Reconstruction Legacy Worth Considering

All are warmly invited to hear Professor Hillary Greene, James B. Duke Professor of Africana Studies at Davidson University, in her upcoming lecture, “Quality Public Schools: A Reconstruction Legacy Worth Considering.”  Professor Greene’s renowned work explores race, class, and gender and pre-1920 African American history. Her first book, Educational Reconstruction: African American Schools and the Urban South, 1865-1890, explores how African Americans and their white allies created, develop, and sustained a system of African American schools during the transition from slavery to freedom in Richmond, Virginia and Mobile, Alabama.

 Dr. Green’s presentation is on Tuesday November 14th at 2:00 pm in Room 2, College of Education. The talk is free and open to the public.
