Documents Relating to the Origin and Work of the Slater Trustees: 1882 to 1894 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book charts the fascinating historical journey of the John F. Slater Fund, a charitable trust established in 1882 by American industrialist John F. Slater. With a mission to uplift the lives of freed slaves and their descendants through education, the fund's creation was deeply rooted in the post-Civil War reconstruction era and the ongoing struggle for racial equality in the United States. The book delves into the complexities of the fund's administration, its strategies for promoting education among African Americans, and the challenges it faced amidst the social and political landscape of the time. Through the lens of original documents, including the founder's charter and correspondence, the author sheds light on the fund's evolution, its impact on educational institutions, and its enduring legacy in shaping the fight for social justice. Beyond its historical significance, this book explores the broader themes of philanthropy, education reform, and racial uplift, offering valuable insights into the complex relationship between education, equality, and the pursuit of a more just society.
