Abstract
Their preference for Black teachers was elevated to a demand that white teachers, who as a group openly professed distaste at educating Black pupils, be replaced with Black educators (Gersman 1972). As the 20th century deepened, Black pupils had to suffer school conversions (with white parents in distress), branch buildings (that split most Black schools into two separate structures overseen by an individual principal), and intact busing (that scattered Black students far and wide across the city) (Weathersby 2017; Weathersby and Weathersby 2019a; Weathersby and Weathersby 2019b). Simply, the SLPS Board was unprepared for the massive Black school enrollment growth since they adopted the relief-inspired Black schools from the Civil War. In short, Black parents preferred Black teachers for their Black children. [Extracted from the article]
