The Schooling of Southern Blacks: The Roles of Legal Activism and Private Philanthropy, 1910-1960
研究20世纪上半叶美国南方黑人教育改善的来源，发现NAACP诉讼和私人慈善在提升公立学校质量和可及性中发挥了关键作用，对理解黑人经济进步有重要参考。
Improvements in education and educational quality are widely acknowledged to be major contributors to black economic progress in the twentieth century. This paper investigates the sources of improvement in black education in the South in the first half of the century and demonstrates the important roles of social activism, especially NAACP litigation and private philanthropy, in improving the quality and availability of public schooling. Many scholars view education as a rival to social activism in explaining black economic progress, but such a view misses the important role of philanthropic and legal interventions in promoting education.
