Washington—the history of goals in post-secondary institutions and the appropriateness of vocational or liberal arts training." "—Capsules: A Review of Higher Education Research" Zusammenfassung This history of black education in post-Civil War Alabama illustrates the history of goals in post-secondary institutions and the appropriateness of vocational or liberal arts training. It traces the role of state legislation and administrative policy and analyzes efforts of black educators to lobby for various measures.
