| Abstract |
"Although African Americans make up a small portion of the population of western North Carolina, they have contributed much to the area's physical and cultural landscape. This study surveys the region's segregated black schools from Reconstruction through integration and reveals the struggles, achievements, and victory of a unified community intent on achieving an adequate education for its children"--Provided by publisher. |
