"tuskegee institute" Discussed on The Officer Tatum Show

"Ladies, welcome back to the office Tatum show. So Joe Biden goes on this rant about teal, the movie is probably incredible movie, but you know, they can't, they can't stop victimizing black people and making black people feel like their whole legacy in America just being a victim. Emmett Till in my personal opinion was not a typical situation a young man was lynched and murdered, and it started with, I guess, the accusation I mean, there's so many rumors floating around and nobody knows what's true and what's not true. But there was an accusation that he had whistled at a white woman or a flirted with a white woman. She went and told her brothers and they went to Emmett Till's uncle's house and Emmett Till's uncle allowed him to go with the men because they were just going to intimidate him. Rough them up a little bit because he had no business doing what he was doing according to them and I'm assuming that the uncle acquiesced to their request. He let him go, they end up killing them, they ended up putting barb wire around his neck and dumping him in a shallow water and his mother had an open casket. And to show the world what they had done to Emmett Till. And to be honest, this was a rare occurrence of this nature, but it was horrifying, nonetheless, and, you know, those two men are going to have a special place in Hades. If they haven't repented for their sins of doing Emmett Till that way, however, Joe Biden always, you know, they always got to make black people a victim, you know, this should be a month to celebrate black people, but the all they do is make movies about black failures. And lynching and poverty and I'm sick of it. As a black man, I'm sick of it because I know black people have done so much more in this country has so much more value than slavery. But let me just run down some lynching statistics for you. And I'll tell you this, and I said this a long time ago, you can look it up yourself tuskegee institute has this as evidence in archived for your review.

"A few minutes before 7 30 p.m.. A 46 year old man with close cropped hair, all of skin, and dressed in a smart black suit, is riding in a carriage through the streets of Washington D.C. to The White House. Is it a tad anxious? Not that this is his first visit. No, no. In the month since William McKinley was assassinated and Theodore Roosevelt took office, the new president has already made it clear to this educator, southerner, and most influential black Americans that his council is very much desired. TR's already had him over. But this is different. Tonight, this gentleman a mister Booker T. Washington is going to The White House as the U.S. president's invited dinner guest. Turning up 1600 Pennsylvania circular drive, the carriage comes to a stop. Under The White House's iconic hillard port cochere. What thoughts must be going through Booker's mind? A natural diplomat, he frequently declined social invitations from why associates to avoid a possible misstep in this fraught. Segregated era of Jim Crow. But one does not say no to the president of the United States. So, the tuskegee institute principle acts like the honored presidential guest that he is. Thinking his colleague whitfield McKinley for the ride, Booker then ascends The White House steps and walks past the black door keepers as he enters the executive mansion through its glass paneled entrance. The roosevelts might be a blue blooded American family, but there's nothing stuffy about this dinner table. Take first lady, Edith Roosevelt. Per usual, Edith easily carries the conversation, even as she sits between and keeps an eye on her two young troublemakers. 7 year old Archie and almost four year old Quentin. I wonder which small creatures they've brought to the table tonight. A mouse, a snake. Yeah, there are animal loving Theodore Roosevelt's children all right. Kermit and Ethel are also present, chatting it up, but no one talks through dinner quite like our bespectacled mustachioed rough rider president TR. His speech may only slow down at the sight of servers with more of annual rourke's cooking. I can just picture his toothy grand growing as he gets a whiff of her famous biscuits, known as fat rascals. Oh, that smells good. And to either side of TR sits his two guests. His friend from Colorado, Philip Stewart, and of course, Booker T. Washington. Details on tonight are sparse, but I imagine Booker's great sense of humor and conversational skills are coming to bear. His nerves have faded. It seems the food and company alike are exquisite. With dinner over, the children head off to bed and the gentlemen make their way to the red room. The subject of discussion soon turns to the very issue on which Booker serves as an adviser to the president. Southern politics. There's no doubt that they mention teddy's recent victory. His recess appointment of former Alabama governor Thomas G Jones as a federal judge. Tom might be a former confederate officer and a Democrat, but he's an honorable man, opposed lynching and in favor of educating black Americans. Ah, that's why Booker recommended him. And now, the south loves TR. Aided by Booker's council and his southern blood from his Georgia born mother, teddy, the half southerner, as he likes to call himself, just might be the man to move the needle on race and break the Democratic Party's solid south. Or at least break Republican Party boss, Mark Hannah's hold on the GOP's southern delegates before the 1904 election. The men discuss their lofty dreams for the south until 10 p.m., then say good night, so Booker can catch the last train in New York. The next day, Booker is going about his business in the Big Apple when he notices a one liner in the New York tribune mentioning he dined with the president. Huh. Well, both he and teddy knew last night was somewhat significant. It was, after all, the first time a black man, a former slave no less, dying with a president in The White House. Teddy had even questioned briefly if he should invite Booker. But the mere fact that he wondered filled him with shame and solidified his resolve to do so. Yet, as Booker carries on in New York City and teddy does so in Washington D.C., it seems neither man fully grasps their dinners significance. There are a few exceptions, but newspapers south of the mason Dixon line come after both men. Hard. In Virginia, the Richmond dispatched proclaims, quote, Roosevelt dines a darkie. In Georgia, the Atlanta constitution complains that, quote, both politically and socially Roosevelt proposed to coddle the sons of ham, close quote. In North Carolina, the custodia gazette and the north carolinian. Both carry an editorial that shouts in all caps, quote away with Roosevelt and Negro equality, away with republicanism and all its abhorrent concomitants. But it isn't the death of his hoped for revival of republicanism in the south that worries teddy the most. It's the death threats, a South Carolina senator Benjamin Tillman announces. Quote, the actions of president Roosevelt in entertaining that will necessitate our killing a thousand in the south before they will learn their place again. Close quote. TR is baffled. Heartbroken. He tells a reporter, I had no thought whatever of anything, save of having a chance of showing some little respect to a man whom I cordially esteem as a good citizen and good American. Instead, teddy has pandemonium, as vulgar cartoons of his wife Edith circulate, opposing newspaper slam each other and, though a failure, a hired assassin, goes after Booker. The president has learned a hard lesson. Though he'll continue to counsel with Booker, teddy will never again break bread with the esteemed tuskegee educator, or any black person for that matter. In The White House.

"From Kyiv Thank you so much Nate and stay safe Yeah thanks miles I appreciate it Lynching is now a federal hate crime after President Biden signed the Emmett Till anti lynching act into law this week The measure allows federal prosecutors to seek an additional 30 year sentence for people who conspire to commit hate crimes that result in serious bodily injury or death It's a law that's been more than a hundred years in the making The first federal anti lynching legislation was introduced in 1900 But as vice president Kamala Harris made clear at this week's signing ceremony the new law is meant to address hate crimes in the present day Lynching is not a relic of the past Racial acts of terror still occur in our nation And when they do we must all have the courage to name them And hold the perpetrators to account So how exactly will this law fight the hate crimes of today To talk through that we called Michael Lieberman He's the senior policy council for the southern poverty law center which is a civil rights legal organization that focuses on these issues He joins us now Michael Lieberman welcome Thanks miles Glad to be with you I want to start by just talking about what lynching means How is it defined when it comes to this law Well the law itself actually does not define lynching but lynching is generally understood to be premeditated extrajudicial killing by a group And this is a term that I think for a lot of people harkens back to the early to mid 20th century the law itself is named after Emmett Till who is a black teenager who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955 I'm wondering how often we're seeing lynching happening today in America Well fortunately very rarely the tuskegee institute did a really comprehensive survey of lynchings and found something like 4700 lynchings between the year 1892 and 1908 the vast majority something like 3500 of those people were African Americans Fortunately this is not a modern day occurrence I think the ahmaud Arbery case can easily be described as a lynching And the only reason miles for federal hate crime laws When you have a situation as we do with 46 states and the District of Columbia having their own hate crime law the only reason to have federal hate crime laws is as a backstop to those state hate crime laws when state and local officials either can not or will not pursue an investigation and a prosecution under their own laws So in the case you mentioned the ahmaud Arbery case and the three men who were involved in that were convicted of federal hate crimes and they're currently awaiting sentencing And then in 2015 when dylann roof killed 9 black people at mother Emanuel church in Charleston South Carolina he was also convicted of federal hate crimes and was sentenced to death Why is this new law this new anti lynching law then necessary if we have these other federal hate crime laws already on the books Right So I think there's a symbolic aspect of this new law and a practical aspect The practical aspect would be the enforcement mechanism And I think it's really important that after a 120 years of trying to get a federal lynching law it has been finally enacted this week and signed into law by President Biden So there's something very important to be able to call a crime what it is The federal government was incapable of calling a lynching what it was until this week But there's also a very important symbolic aspect about this too The law is a teacher law shapes attitudes And when you have a federal anti lynching law you have a teachable moment to be able to talk about the history of lynching It's really important to talk about American history the good and the bad inclusive education teaching truth and when you have the opportunity for a teachable moment like this you want to be able to take advantage of it So think about how this is going to affect hate crimes today There is a lot of research recent research that shows that longer sentencing does not actually help to deter crime In 2016 the National Institute of justice and agency within the U.S. Department of Justice published a report that affirmed this does this anti lynching law which adds harsher penalties fit the modern thinking of how to actually stop these kinds of hate crimes Yeah so I guess I have two responses to that First I think everyone hopes that this new law will never have to be enforced that there won't be a lynching that would have to be investigated and prosecuted The law is a blunt instrument in facing off against hate and extremism It's much better to prevent these crimes from occurring in the first place It's true that there is a symbolic aspect a public awareness aspect of this law But there's also an accountability aspect of it So it's not an increase of 30 years It's a 30 year penalty It's not an enhancement It for the first time makes this crime eligible for up to 30 years Are there other things I guess societally that you think of that can also help decrease the amount of hate crimes in the U.S. Absolutely What we need to do is focus on prevention This administration in May of last year promulgated something called the national strategy for countering domestic terrorism And there were four pillars one of them is about communication better coordination one of them is about enforcement but one of them is also about education long-term systemic efforts to address hate racism extremism And that is where we need to focus much more attention But we also want to see a concomitant commitment a parallel commitment to prevention initiatives civics education understanding the Bill of Rights democracy building efforts working on online radicalization of youth These types of things have the potential to prevent hate crimes from occurring in the first place And it's much better to prevent it in the first place That was Michael Lieberman He is the senior policy council for the southern.

"For an hour in the evening, nothing but crickets. Not talking to anybody, not with the radio on, not watching television, not listening to the news, not reading, but just listening to the silence of it's not exactly silence, but listening to the quiet of the natural world. And I feel that sitting and just listening is a way of connecting with something central in our humanity and our existence. What you just said there makes me think of another poem that you and I talked about reading. And it's from a book called Carver, and it's basically a biography, I guess, of George Washington Carver told in poems. And there is one called professor Carver's Bible class, and I think it's good to go there now because it references the value of nature and you just were talking about nature, so it made me think of this poem. So why don't we do this one next? I learned so much about the important things of life by writing this book about Carver. I set up to write a spiritual biography of Carver, Carver was in, I think he was a saint. And I learned so much from him as his attitudes toward quiet and toward solitude and towards service, he was an extraordinarily wise man, great teacher. So he taught for most of his adult life as a Professor of science. Agricultural science at tuskegee institute. And when he first started there, I don't remember when he started teaching there. It must have been about 1900. It must have been O 5 something like that. When he first started teaching at tuskegee, he offered a brief Bible study class in a small classroom, just an informal Bible study class one, I think it was maybe one half hour a week, doctor Carver would just read a passage from the Bible and discuss it. And this class became so popular that as he became older, it had to be held in a largest lecture hall on campus, students thronged to hear Carver talk about the Bible as people do for Jimmy Carter. And some of Carver's students took a little sketches of outlines of what Carver talked about and there's a collection of these published. And my poem is based on a recollection written by a man named Alvin Smith who is a student at tuskegee. So that's a long introduction to the class. Professor carvers Bible class. I'd always pictured God as a big old long bearded white man thrown up in the sky watching.

"Recovered voices program highlighted the music of William Dawson Here ran away from home as a teenager to study music at what was then called the tuskegee institute and here is his Negro folk symphony Now this got a lot of attention when the Philadelphia orchestra premiered it in 1934 and then it faded away a bit What makes Dawson and his music notable I honestly believe that Dawson is also probably one of the greatest composers Especially one of the greatest black composers at this time but even one of the greatest orchestral composers And it's so sad that this was his only symphonic work but you know he stands out because he brings a different flair of a composition style You know when I listen to Dawson's Negro folk symphony I also think of dvorak symphony from the new world the new world symphony Number 9 this is Dawson's contribution to really what divorce.

"Tuskegee institute principal Robert russet mountain, one of the leading black educators in the U.S. in the early 20th century, remembered being a child and Prince Edward county, Virginia, and having to watch his father being conferred as a Christmas present during an estate settlement. And LaSalle corbell Pickett, the widow of George pick at the famed confederate general who led Pickett's charge at Gettysburg, claims in her own memoirs that her present one year was a 6 week old black baby boy, accompanied by a deed that made him mine. There's a national debate now about teaching the whole history of slavery. How do you see the role of Christmas in perpetuating lost cause propaganda fitting into this conversation? It certainly timely in the sense of the debates that are going on right now, do you really bring up Christmas slave sales? Do you really bring up Christmas whippings or is that going to make part of your class feel badly or feel guilty? My answer is that we really do need to liberate teachers to address the past critically, not just about enslavement, but our whole history of race in America. As long as we don't address it, hyper critically, we're never going to realize what really happened in the past. We're going to perpetuate these myths that I think have helped underwrite segregation and discrimination in America for decades. And we're going to leave American school children in the dark. While teaching slavery critically is not necessarily a pleasant experience, we have to engage with.

"Okay so there's a lot of medical juergen to basically tell you that these are crucial to learning about cells. They were the first cell clusters they could keep alive. They could also manipulate them because they duplicated replicated. And so you could take some do what you need to do. Put a virus in there and see how it fights the virus and you still got some over here. That are just chill one couple. Things that the he'll cells have done have been used for sales. Were used for learning how to handle and ship sells. These were sustaining. They could take some and send them off somewhere else and they still had some duplicating here so they were able to share. This sim cell isolation came about because of this. Ivf they discovered that there weren't forty eight but forty six chromosomes. Didn't know that was thing. This is all off the to. What did you say like nickel-sized. Yes so there's a lot of thanks for bringing that out or bringing that up. They discovered that the healthy cells replicate a couple times. Indict out it was the cancerous cells that kept duplicating. That's why i had that medical jargon in there. It was the telomeres and the keillor teela mores with the cancer that help these reproduce over and over and over again cancer works just kept itself going. Yes thank you. That's why that medical juergen was in their seep teamwork there. You're not to think unless you're referring to this podcast will kill you as your team. They're so smart. I want to start listening to that show a lot. So let's see here. They were able to learn about chromosomal abnormalities. Because of this like they understood we're down syndrome came from because they learned that there were forty eight not forty or there. were forty. eight or forty six chromosomes. So when they saw forty seven there they were like. Oh that's the different blah blah so it led to a greater understanding of things like that they were able to study the effects of drugs and medicines. They sent cells to space to test the effects of space on human cells. The most significant impact that these cells had was shortly after she died in october of nineteen fifty. One nineteen fifty two. There was a polio outbreak. These cells were used to create the polio vaccine. So henrietta lacks saved a ton of lives. Damn they most recently. Why say most. Recently they're being used literally everywhere. Cova vaccine use teela cells. There are more than seventeen thousand patents involving he'll lascelles. Research involving them has been described in more than one hundred and ten thousand scientific publications in tiffany. Read them all. I read one hundred and ten thousand scientific publications in quotes and like five sources. So yeah i put it in my notes. There have been three nobel prizes awarded with direct relation to heal cell research. Girls killing it after you know she killed it. Well there's also isn't duncan centrally. That is the big thing. So tuskegee institute was shipping out the cells to shipping out the cells to anybody who wanted some for research for ten dollars a sample plus shipping fees. They weren't able to keep up with demand. Infomercial guys you pay shipping and handling and you'll get a free cell cup putin. Petri dish p treated probably i. I don't know.

Thank you both So much for coming on the show and Mayor Neil let me start with you for those listening who aren't familiar with the details of the Tuskegee study, let alone its lasting impact on the black community. Do you mind giving us an overview of it, including how your uncle was involved? Well, thank you, Ryan and glad to be on with Michelle as well. Well back in 1932, the United States. Public health service. Engaged in a study on untreated syphilis for Negro men. Many of those men had what we call congenital surplus, which means they were born with it. And so it was fertile ground for steady like this. The study persist for 40 years from 1932 to 1972 when it was discovered. Uh and of course it was been stopped. But the point of the matter was in 1947 penicillin. Have been determined as a cure for treatment of syphilis, and this is where they egregious activity really took another level. Was when syphilis, uh was when penicillin was Readily available to treat syphilis. They did not amend the treatment. Or the penicillin in and that's what happened. My uncle was recruited in Tuskegee, Alabama. He was, uh, a person who worked here. He had his family here and he was recruited through Tuskegee Institute, a trusted institution. Uh, and of course, he thought that they were Being treated for what they call bad blood. And, uh, As a consequence, they went for their, um Annual uh, checkups. Or whenever they have their checkups. And they were told these three things they were going to do. One is we're going to give you a burial. Which was huge during that time, but we're going to give you a barrier. We're going to bury you. And so they have given the burial insurance. They fed them, and they said they were going to treat them. And, uh, so they felt that that was a good, um, proposition, and so many of them signed up because of that. What they didn't know is that they were part of a study. And that study would last for 40 years and that they would never be treated. And that's the kind of overall somewhere you have the Tuskegee, uh be in our call it differently. It's the United States. Public Health Service study conducted in Tuskegee, right, Well, we certainly know how something like that could lead to distrust the federal government once those revelations were to come out, but going back to when it first started. What was the level of distrust like then? Well, you know, I think there's always been, uh, some distrust. For the federal government do know that you know, we came out of slavery, which was sanctioned by the federal government. There were many other things that we saw in terms of The the segregation laws and all of that that was sanctioned by the federal government. So there was never a real trust issue with the government. But it was more trusted because it was out of Tuskegee University, then. Right, And so and so what they did. They went by carry Slee, who a trusted institution. To to garner the goodwill of that institution to do this study, and so so it was it about the government itself. It was about the people that we already trip And that's how that took place. In fact, Ryan I don't think they would have done it. If if, uh, if it was just the government doing if there were not trusted people in the community saying it was okay. I'm joined right now by Mayor Omar Neal, former mayor of Tuskegee and nephew of Freddie Lee Tyson, a participant in the Tuskegee Syphilis study, and Michelle Hillman, chief campaign development officer for the Ad council.

Slash legacy Mayor Neil Let's fast forward to when this study got exposed and give us a sense of how that revelation impacted the black community. The distrust it's sewed, which still exists in some measure to this day. Well, you know, one is Ryan. I guess it was disbelief. Which is when we first heard about it. It was 1972 and to find out 600 men. Many of which word family members certainly all which were our community members. These were pillows of our community. These people went to church with That we, uh we're, uh, our carpenters in our Electricians and our brick masons and these were people who helped build the Tuskegee Airman base. I mean, these were really hard working people. These were sharecroppers. These people had a lot of different occupations and made a lot of contributions to our community to found out find out that they were targeted. In a study like this was hard working. And yes, it just shook our souls to know that it was done by the federal government. And so, yes, distrust because trust is a calculated risk. Yeah, Distrust probably took another level. Uh, for the federal government. And so you know, we're still working with This notion of trust and you know, we need to be talking about, you know, not just people being distrustful, but how if the government even contemporary Lee Proving itself to be trustworthy. Is the distrust more of a generational issue. Those who were old enough to process the information When it came out, they're more likely to be wary of certain institutions. Or is that feeling in a sense been passed down to younger generations? I think it's both and Ryan. I think that people who were present and and were knowledgeable of it, uh, in 72 that they remember what took place and they also can recall. How it made them feel when they heard about it, And so they transfer this knowledge down to their Children in their Children to their Children. And so it's kind of a snowball effect where it just kind of permeated the entire African American community that the study took place and how egregious it was. And how Dehumanizing it was and so if they if you're capable if you have the capacity to do that, to those who have been, then what are you capable of doing to me now? And I think that's the question that many people ask themselves. One question. I'm sure many people would have listening to this is that the Tuskegee study involved the withholding of life saving medicine, while the Covid 19 vaccine efforts involved giving it So how exactly would the Tuskegee issue lead to vaccine hesitancy?.

"Double D ray be in that latter. This is city lights. I'm Lois writes is thank you for listening. Made 22nd, a major exhibition of photographs by N. True filer will open had the National Center for Civil and Human Rights. The photos are the basis of a book that documents a watershed moment in philanthropy and education in America. The Rosenwald Schools program is considered the most important initiative for black education in our nation's history. Nearly 5000 public schools were built between 1912 and 1937 throughout the segregated South. Words. Impact was epic. The Rosenwald school leg is she isn't widely known to deck Andrew Filers spent 3.5 years photographing 105 of the remaining schools. I am gathering their remarkable stories and his book a better life for their Children. He joins us now via Zoom and through filer. Welcome to city lights. Thank you, Lois. Too great to be with you. This is this program is such a pillar of the arts community and it in Atlanta, and it's great to be part of it. Thank you. How did you learn about the Rosenwald schools? So I I had just turned into my publisher. My first photography book at the end of 2014 that first book Wasps. A portrait of a college campus that was largely abandoned, and I used this notion of abandoned educational spaces spaces there heard familiar to all of us. But his network now populated by coasts to raise awareness around the simple fact that education has been the backbone of the American dream. Since before there was the United States of America in critical moments in our history, we have embraced The power of education. The first taxpayer funded school in America was created in 16 44 in debt in Massachusetts. And there's a direct connection between that the Land Grant College Act in the 18 sixties. Historically, black colleges founded predominantly in the decades after the Civil War to the Rosenwald schools to educational provision of the G I bill Brown versus Board of Education to some of the challenges we have today are around college affordability and college access, and I was thinking about what I was going to do next, and I found myself at lunch. With a woman in Jeannie Syriac, who originated the role of African American heritage specialist at the Georgia State Historic Preservation Office. And she told me about Rosenwald schools and I was shocked. I have 1/5 generation Jewish, Georgia. I have been a progressive activist my entire life. The pillars of this story. Southern Jewish Progressive activists They're the pillars of my life. How could I have never heard of Rosenwald schools? So I came home and I Googled Rosenwald schools and what I found. Was that there were a number of books on the topic. But there was no photo documentary. And so there was clearly such a direct connection between my first work. Lands. The power the education to this story, which is a very specific story of the power of education that I decided then that that was I was going to pursue this story early in your research. What did you learn about the role of photography and the Rosenwald Schools Project? Yeah, that's a great good question. So my processes to read and shoot and read and shoot in the shooting and informs the reading and the reading informs to shooting and very early on in my reading what I found Was this extraordinary story. The restaurant schools program begins with a pilot of six schools all close to Tuskegee, where Booker T. Washington, who's one of the critical founders of the program, could keep an eye on these schools. And he sends photographs of students and teachers standing proudly in front of their schools back to Julius Rosenwald and reasonable to sprites writes to Washington. But he was so moved by these images. That he is motivated to expand the program, and these photographs continue to be taken throughout the history of the program of the students and teachers. Representing the hopes and dreams of their communities standing out in front of these schools, and they become a very powerful component of the visual narrative of the program. All of my previous bodies of work color, But those the power of photography in this story is what led me to pay homage to those images by doing this entire body of work in black and white and horizontal. Because I wanted to reflect that power, the visual language of photography than how it shaped to help shape the history of this program. Yeah. Would you talk a bit more about the relationship between Rosenwald and Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald was the president of Sears, Roebuck at the time Key. Essentially made it the most successful retail store in the world. Yes, sir. Julius Rosenwald is born to Jewish immigrants who fled religious persecution in Germany, and he grows up in Springfield, Illinois, across The street from Abraham Lincoln. And in fact, today, there is this national historic site that's four city blocks in downtown Springfield that is built around Lincoln's home from when he was a state legislator in Springfield and the house across the street. Julius Rosenwald. Childhood home is the offices of the superintendent of that national historic site, And so he rises to become the president of Sears, Roebuck and company in 19. Oh, wait and leads the Cup. Any until his death in 1932. He helps turn Sears into the world's largest retailer of his era, and he becomes one of the earliest and greatest philanthropists in American history, and his cause is what later becomes known as civil rights. Booker T. Washington born into slavery in Virginia. Is one of the most prominent African American voices in the late 19th and early 20th Century's. He becomes an educator, and he is the founding principle of the historically Black College in Tuskegee, Alabama. Noticed escape. The Institute of the two Men meet in 1911 Julius First World agrees to go on the board of Tuskegee Institute. They keep talking about what they could do together and they come up with this idea that becomes known as Rosenwald schools. They have to understand Two things number one. This is 1919 11 1912. This is before the great migration. Which only begins later that decade. So 90% of African Americans within the South and public schools for African Americans are mostly shacks with a fraction of the funding provided to schools that educate white Children.
