Author James D. Anderson was a teacher and then president of Fisk University, who also taught at the University of Chicago, Harvard University, and Vanderbilt University. "Anderson's work is important because it challenges the notion that black education reform in Southern states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was exclusively top-down.

Despite the fervent efforts to educate blacks in the south, they were mostly confined to a segregated education system. White schools in the South were not interested in educating blacks because they did not want to lose their privileged and elite status. With this mindset, school systems considered African-Americans as "a problem." Southern public and private schools contended that blacks were intellectually inferior and needed to be kept in a separate environment to keep them from being corrupted. After 400 years of captivity, during which slavery was practiced extensively on them, by 1935, blacks had grown even more intractable with respect to whites.
