This volume examines the evolution of higher education opportunities for African Americans in the early and mid-twentieth century. It contributes to understanding how African Americans overcame great odds to obtain advanced education in their own institutions; how they asserted themselves to gain control over those institutions; and how they persisted despite discrimination and intimidation in both northern and southern universities.Following an introduction by the editors are contributions by Richard M. Breaux; Louis Ray; Lauren Kientz Anderson; Timothy Reese Cain; Linda M. Perkins; and Michael Fultz.Contributors consider the expansion and elevation of African American higher education. Such progress was made against heavy odds―the "separate but equal" policies of the segregated South; less overt but pervasive racist attitudes in the North; and legal obstacles to obtaining equal rights.

KindleBy howie gExcellent book; required for my science and religion course. It is a great read for anyone who is considering teaching science. It really shows how science and religion can be integrated and both have a place in modern life.
