CHAPTER 9 First Movings of the Waters

The Creation of Common School Systems for Black and White Students

The “poor” whites are provoked by hearing Negroes read, while they are ignorant; and it is my belief that they will now receive schools, if furnished them, as never before. The educated class are not slow to perceive that their schools must be reopened or fall behind humiliated, and that new schools must now be organized on a more popular plan than heretofore.

John Alvord, Washington, D.C.

These so-called Carpet Bag governments established the public school systems of the South.

W. E. B. Du Bois, The Negro Common School
