Unsung legacies of educators and events in African American education

This title describes the contributions of 22 educators and events that have shaped the field of education, often receiving little to no public recognition, including: Edmonia Godelle Highgate, Nannie Helen Burroughs, Selena Sloan Butler, Alonzo Aristotle Crim, Sabbath Schools, and African American Boarding Schools.

These individuals and events have established and sustained education in communities across the United States.

The book will help foster a renewed sense of importance both for those considering teaching and for teachers in classrooms across the country.
