Rezensionen

"The story of black higher education in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries the leaders that envisioned it and the philanthropists that supported it is a complex one that needs to be told. Thank you, Vida L. Avery, for telling it so well!" Beverly Daniel Tatum, President, Spelman College, USA
