Ninth Annual Brown Lecture in Education Research Black Educators as Educational Advocates in the Decades Before Brown v. Board of Education

In this essay, Vanessa Siddle Walker invokes the voices of black educators who challenged the diluted and failed vision for an integrated South after the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision mandating school desegregation. Through collaboration and activism, these educators fought against the second-class integration implemented in the southern states and instead advocated for true equality and empowerment for black children entering integrated schools. Walker demonstrates that these educators' critiques are strikingly applicable to the present U.S. educational system, as they highlight our country's failure to provide educational equity despite decades of debate about its necessity and reforms to address the injustices. She advises President Obama's administration to incorporate these original visions of black educators in efforts to craft and advance a new vision for integration and racial equality in schools.

Second-Class Integration: A Historical Perspective for a Contemporary Agenda.

This article provides a thematic overview of the ways in which black educators, through their professional associations, advocated to create equality of schooling for black children in the pre-Brown era. In the struggle for socially just education, Black educators are historically depicted as reluctant participants or employees worried about their future career positions. Conversely, black educators used their professional networks and local connections to support national efforts to provide more equitable education. Using primary and secondary documentation, the author highlights the myriad forms of advocacy black educators used to seek justice for black children, and challenges negative portrayals of black educators in the pre-Brown era.
