Abstract

The term higher education for Negroes is usually applied to that intellectual training received by Negroes after the time of Emancipation and Reconstruction when inspired missionaries and democratic legislatures first established schools for the education of the ex-slaves. That this period marked the beginning of a systematized method of lifting the veils of ignorance from the eyes of the freedman is not to be doubted. It may be historically incorrect, however, to designate these efforts as the first attempts to educate the Negro, and especially may this be true with regard to the appellation "higher education."
