Funny story. I sold my book & applied for a fellowship to help write it and one of the reviewers, who had no background in education or racial injustice, questioned my assertion that codified and de jure school seg was a signature feature of the N and S. Called it an overreach.
1) It takes a lot of nerve to suggest you, with no background in the area, have some inside knowledge on a subject someone has written about for 15 years and researched an entire proposal for.
2) It spoke volumes about how successful white Northerners have been in promulgating the lie of their racial egalitarianism and that legal, intentional and systemic racism and racial segregation was a backwards Southern corruption and not the organizing principal of the U.S.
Shouts to Davison M. Douglas, whose work has been critical to my own research. amazon.com/Jim-Crow-Moves…
