Education became an important tool for change during the Reconstruction period, but it had a lot of problems to overcome.
Here are some of the main challenges:
Access Issues: Many African Americans could not go to school at all because of deep-seated racism.
Funding Gaps: Schools for black children often did not have enough money or resources, making it hard for them to learn well.
Resistance: Groups that believed in white supremacy strongly opposed mixed schools. This made it even harder to achieve equality in education.
To solve these problems, we need more money and help from the federal government for black schools.
Community support and advocacy are also really important to create a fairer education system for everyone.
