I never heard the implication that Black educators couldn't educate their own. The problem as I saw it was that Black students were given inferior materials, whether it was hand-me-down text books and desks, or unsuitable buildings lacking proper heat or ventalation. Unfortunately this is still the case in many schools in the US. Mandatory segregation has ended, but in many school systems, the schools with the largest population of black students still receive less funds, and inferior resources. In some ways nothing has changed but the date. I was thinking that when I read the part about the Jersey state troopers. It made me think about all the racial profiling that was being reported on the news at the time I was reading this book.
