"Education of the Negroes Since 1860" by J. L. M. Curry is a historical account published in the late 19th century. The book aims to document the progress and challenges faced in the education of African Americans in the Southern United States after the Civil War and emancipation. Curry, serving as the Secretary of the Trustees of the John F. Slater Fund, provides a comprehensive narrative detailing the educational initiatives and reforms
that took place in this pivotal period of American history. The book outlines the dramatic transition from slavery to freedom and the subsequent efforts made to educate the formerly enslaved population. Curry discusses the role of the Freedmen's Bureau and various benevolent societies in establishing schools, the significance of public education, and the collective contributions of both state and private funding to support these initiatives. Through statistical data and specific case studies, the author examines the increasing enrollment in schools, the establishment of training programs for teachers, and the vital importance of education in shaping the socio-political landscape for African Americans. Overall, Curry's work serves as an important record of the educational advancements made during a time of significant upheaval and opportunity in the United States.
