Wilmington Marests. on Education of the Negro
A Wilmington column discusses education for Black people, defending universal schooling and denouncing efforts to keep one class ignorant. It argues ignorance harms all, cites historical failure of repression, and urges white southern support for negro schools and teachers. The piece also notes the Wilmington Normal School exercises and praises Washington DC educators aiding North Carolina in training teachers.
