Book Synopsis
While white residents of antebellum Boston and New Haven forcefully opposed the education of black residents, their counterparts in slaveholding Baltimore did little to resist the establishment of African American schools. Such discrepancies, the author argues, suggest that white opposition to black education was not a foregone conclusion.

Trade Review
"I cannot think of any other book that is like Schooling Citizens, which makes an important contribution both to the historiography of African Americans and to the history of education in America. Well written and well argued, this book is an original contribution to scholarship." - Shane White, author of Stories of Freedom in Black New York"
