The History of Black Education in North Carolina

A Teaching Guide for High School Educators

The lessons and activities contained in this guide explore the educational barriers Black North Carolinians have faced throughout history. This guide includes the period of enslavement, Reconstruction, the Jim Crow Era, and desegregation, as well as the history of Rosenwald schools.

Each lesson plan in this series offers recommended resources for teachers to consult for gaining important background knowledge. As we work to better educate ourselves about less-known state and national history, making connections to local history is imperative.

The Friends of the Mars Hill Anderson Rosenwald school are very proud of the role we played in getting this curriculum written and shared.
