Redefining history of anti-Black racist ideas that changes our understanding of the causes and extent of racist thinking, this book chronicles the journey of racist ideas and shows how these ideas were developed and eventually enshrined in American society. It also includes answers to some of the troubling questions of our time.

This book provides the first national study of this intense and challenging struggle which disrupted and refashioned institutions in almost every state. It also illuminates the context for one of the most transformative educational movements in American history through a history of black higher education and black student activism before 1965.
