Synopsis

This book chronicles the struggle for educational equity in North Carolina in the early 20th century. At a time when illiteracy was widespread in the South, a progressive governor and dedicated educators fought to expand higher education opportunities for all. Yet the state's wealth was growing exponentially through its agricultural industry. Despite this prosperity, the state legislature prioritized tax breaks on wealthy landowners over education. Through personal stories and historical documents, the author shows how the people of North Carolina rallied to support their public universities, using their voices and votes to challenge the status quo and secure a brighter future for the state's young people.
