New South Governors and the Evolution of School Choice, 1980-1996
This article examines cases of governors who established a foundation for school choice between 1980 and 1996. Education was a strategic issue around which they sought to alleviate economic concerns and anxieties about desegregation to realize their vision of building, yet again, a New South. As part of this process, southern governors extolled the values of the free market in deracialized ways and networked to pass comprehensive education reform…
A Pathway to Liberation
The Freedom School Movement originated at the nexus of the struggles for liberation and full citizenship. Beginning with the articulation of education as a means to freedom during the era of enslavement, the ideology behind Freedom Schools was an integral aspect of the long Black freedom struggle in the United States. Freedom Schools have continually recognized the integral role and contribution of Black activists and educators who, throughout th…
Private Schools for the Public Good
Historically Black high schools and those who led the drive to found them across the South proffer nuanced understandings of private schools and the public good in the history of education and the Black Freedom Struggle from Reconstruction through the Progressive Era.

If you want police, we will have them”
This paper examines the southern influence and litigation around carceral logic in public education, as evident in the racialized disciplinary codes and police presence in schools that led to the criminalization of youth during desegregation through the 1960s and into the 1970s. Southern school districts and state legislators worked in tandem with law enforcement to increase discipline and surveillance in newly desegregated spaces, changed laws t…

We are not merging on an equal basis’
This paper examines the history of southern teacher association mergers during the Civil Rights Movement. Desegregated teacher associations promised opportunity for black educators during the transformation of public schools in the 1960s and 1970s. Southern black educators at the moment of desegregation controlled the mergers of their own associations and carried forth a civil rights agenda that protected the gains of the movement and the integri…
Reconstructing the Southern Landscape
The city of Charleston, South Carolina, illustrates how educators can use people- and place-based case studies as pedagogical tools to reconstruct a Southern public and historic landscape. Teaching the Foundations of Education course in the city of Charleston makes the history that frames contemporary educational issues such as (re)segregation more visible. In the wake of the recent tragedy at the historic African Methodist Episcopal (AME) church…
To Write in the Light of Freedom
This book adds to an growing body of literature on the black press, especially the Mississippi black press. William Sturkey and Jon N. Hale introduce readers to articles, poems, and prose that appeared in newspapers produced by Freedom Schools—writings that chronicled Freedom Summer, the civil rights movement, and the plight of blacks. This book is important for several reasons. First, the editors make accessible in one place a genre of the black…
