Good Morning Scholars!
I am looking for some books that can provide me with a historiography of education (freedman's schools, etc.) during Reconstruction and the Nadir - particularly the years 1889-1915. I am presenting at a conference and would love a broader knowledge of this period. Thank you in advance for your help on this matter - books/articles are greatly appreciated!
