Reflections on Black Colleges: The Historical Perspective of Charles S. Johnson.

Pearson, Ralph L.

History of Education Quarterly, v23 n1 p55-68 Spr 1983

Johnson's ideas on the role of Black colleges provide both a historic and contemporary perspective to the debate about their purposes. He explored the function, if any, of Black colleges in the race's social and economic survival, as well as its cultural identity, especially after segregation in education was declared unconstitutional.
