520 3  The purpose of this thesis is to describe and discuss the significance of black philanthropy and its impact on three North Carolina counties from 1890 through 1910: Craven, Edgecombe, and Warren. It also seeks to explore how the African American community utilized the limited resources at its disposal to elevate its status within American society. The spirit of self-determination and racial uplift are embedded in the African American heritage. The tradition of initiating efforts to improve the African American community is a hallmark of black life. Therefore, this thesis also seeks to help correct a misconception about African Americans' participation in their educational development, economic advancement, social progress, and maturity. The overall aim of the study is not necessarily to make the contemporary concept of philanthropy fit into this historical period, but rather to understand how African Americans defined their own concept of philanthropy and how they used this concept to improve their lives.
