| Abstract | At the end of August 2005, Hurricane Katrina laid bare a wide swath of the U.S. Gulf Coast. The devastation left in the wake of this natural disaster and the all-too-slow governmental response to it shocked the nation. Hidden even deeper in the media aftermath of Katrina were the stories of the particularly harsh fury that the hurricane had visited upon the region's children. The refusal by many Americans to recognize the stark abjection of all-too-real American poverty continues to be overwhelmed by their shared elision of the experiences of poor children, particularly African Americans. Recent attempts at the illumination of their stories by David C. Berliner (2005) and Jonathan Kozol (2005) may keep alive for some of the better-off Americans the shame at the nation's near-total exclusion of these students from the reality of contemporary public school reform efforts. Most Americans, like most politicians and educators, may also need suggestions toward meaningful action so that their awakened recognition persists long enough to foster real educational reforms to affect the lives of these all-but-forgotten pupils in one's midst. To aid in that important effort, this article draws on the history of African American school reform on which to base three modest suggestions to reform the schooling experienced by poor children. The first two examples detail the establishment of administrative positions, a state agent for Negro education and a Jeanes teacher, by the respective efforts of the General Education Board (GEB) and the Anna T. Jeanes Fund, to foster the growth and development of Black public schooling. The last example illustrates the profound impact on southern Black schooling by the Julius Rosenwald Fund. This example illuminates the significance of the built landscape of schools available for African American learning. Examining these lessons from the past, along with new calls for similar but updated efforts, could reasonably yield significant educational reforms for poor students. (ERIC). |
