Standardization, White Supremacy, and Racial Self-Definition: African American Secondary Schools in Rural North Carolina, 1920-1954
In this historical examination, Amato Nocera, Kyle P. Steele, and John Hensley argue that the development of Black rural high schools in the decades leading up to the Brown v. Board of Education decision represented the dynamic between standardization, white supremacy, and Black self-definition that has shaped US education reform. Focusing on the interplay of state-level education administrators, local white officials, and Black community members…
They created segregation with the economy”: Using AI for a student-driven inquiry into redlining in the social studies classroom
This article investigates students' engagement with a historical inquiry into redlining—a practice of discriminatory lending that originated in the 1930s as part of the New Deal. The authors developed and implemented a week-long curricular intervention for high school sophomores using StoryQ—an Artificial Intelligence (AI) textual modeling platform designed for high school students without technical expertise—to examine hundreds of neighborhood d…

The worldwide diffusion of COVID-19, declared pandemic in March 2020, has led to significant changes in people’s lifestyles and behavior, especially when it comes to the consumption of media and entertainment.

"May We Not Write Our Own Fairy Tales and Make Black Beautiful?" African American Teachers, Children's Literature, and the Construction of Race in the Curriculum, 1920-1945
This article examines children's literature written by African American teachers during the first part of the twentieth century. Drawing on theories of racialization, I analyze children's books written by two African American teachers: Helen Adele Whiting (1885-1959) and Jane Dabney Shackelford (1895-1979). I argue that their books represented more than an effort toward greater Black representation in schools; they also served as a contribution t…
An empirical analysis of high school students' practices of modelling with unstructured data
To date, many AI initiatives (eg, AI4K12, CS for All) developed standards and frameworks as guidance for educators to create accessible and engaging Artificial Intelligence (AI) learning experiences for K‐12 students. These efforts revealed a significant need to prepare youth to gain a fundamental understanding of how intelligence is created, applied, and its potential to perpetuate bias and unfairness. This study contributes to the growing inter…
Dallas Hanbury. The Development of Southern Public Libraries and the African American Quest for Library Access, 1898–1963
Dallas Hanbury’s title says a great deal about this unflashy, descriptive, and concise history. The Development of Southern Public Libraries and the African American Quest for Library Access, 1898–1963 is a book about public library systems in the South developed for white southerners and how African Americans struggled for library access during the first part of the twentieth century. Hanbury’s title may cue the reader into another important fea…
“More than Equivalent to a Year of College”: Hubert Harrison and Informal Education in Harlem's New Negro Movement
Background/Context Spurred on by the mass migration of African Americans from the South and blacks from the Caribbean, Harlem by the 1920s was defined by its association with New Negro culture and was widely known as the “mecca” of black life. The New Negro movement, as the period was called by contemporaries, has become a focus of scholars interested in black radical politics. Still, there has yet to be a focused study of the underlying educatio…
Negotiating the Aims of African American Adult Education: Race and Liberalism in the Harlem Experiment, 1931–1935
This paper examines an “experimental” program in African American adult education that took place at the Harlem branch of the New York Public Library in the early 1930s. The program, called the Harlem Experiment, brought together a group of white funders (the Carnegie Corporation and the American Association for Adult Education)—who believed in the value of liberal adult education for democratic citizenship—and several prominent black reformers w…
