It is an invaluable text from a supremely talented writer."--Clint Smith, author of How the Word is Passed, the definitive history of the pervasiveness of racial inequality in American higher education. America's colleges and universities have a shameful secret: they have never given Black people a fair chance to succeed. From its inception, our higher education system was not built on equality or accessibility, but on educating--and prioritizing--white students. Black students have always been an afterthought. While governments and private donors funnel money into majority white schools, historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), and other institutions that have high enrollments of Black students, are struggling to survive, with state legislatures siphoning away federal funds that are legally owed to these schools. In The State Must Provide, Adam Harris reckons with the history of a higher education system that has systematically excluded Black people from its benefits. Harris weaves through the legal, social, and political obstacles erected to block equitable education in the United States, studying the Black Americans who fought their way to an education, pivotal Supreme Court cases like Plessy v. Ferguson and Brown v. Board of Education, and the government's role in creating and upholding a segregated education system. He explores the role that Civil War-era legislation intended to bring agricultural education to the masses had in creating the HBCUs that have played such a major part in educating Black students when other state and private institutions refused to accept them. The State Must Provide is the definitive chronicle of higher education's failed attempts at equality and the long road still in front of us to remedy centuries of racial discrimination--and poses a daring solution to help solve the underfunding of HBCUs. Told through a vivid cast of characters, The State Must Provide examines what happened before and after schools were supposedly integrated in the twentieth century, and why higher education remains broken to this day 588 0 Title details screen (OverDrive, viewed August 12, 2021). 650 0 Discrimination in higher education |zUnited States |xHistory. |=^A316370 650 0 Racism in higher education |zUnited States |xHistory. |=^A771382 650 0 Segregation in higher education |zUnited States |xHistory. |=^A194822 650 0 Education, Higher |zUnited States |xFinance |xHistory. |=^A206971 650 7 Discrimination in higher education. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00895076 650 7 Education, Higher |xFinance. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00903056 650 7 Racism in higher education. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01744191 650 7 Segregation in higher education. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01111230 651 7 United States. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 |?UNAUTHORIZED 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Instructional and educational works. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919931 655 7 Instructional and educational works. |2lcgft 776 08 |iPrint version:Harris, Adam, (Journalist). |tState must provide. |bFirst edition. |dNew York, NY : Ecco, an imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers, [2021] |z9780062976482 |w(OCoLC)1204635631 856 40 |3EBSCOhost |uhttp://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=3086067&custid=s5822723&authtype=ip,shib 938 EBSCOhost |bEBSC |n3086067 938 YBP Library Services |bYANK |n302559450 949 Click on web address |wasis |hjoyner96 |ojwjh 949 Click on web address |wasis |hhsl102 |ojwjh 994 C0 |bERE 596 1 4 998 5770135
