Greetings!
We are looking for a third panelist for our panel: Education and the Long Civil Rights Struggle. The two papers we have focus on education as a primary goal of African Americans during the post-emancipation period. These papers explore themes of race, religion, gender and politics. Together they provide a foundation for understanding the early discourse around education as a civil right.
If you are interested, please send a brief abstract of your paper and your C.V. to Nicole Myers Turner at nmt68@drexel.edu.
