Grant Message on Education Sparks North Carolina Debate
Fragmentary historical note quotes General Grant's 1876 message urging universal literacy and free schools. It questions how 50,000 white adults who cannot read or write might be affected, and asks how this would assist Black people in North Carolina. The source presents a provocative, partly garbled reflection on postwar schooling policy and literacy.
