Summary: This documentary (1939) produced by the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) on the racial disparities in the education provided in South Carolina public schools. The film was produced by the NAACP in its drive to desegregate schools which ultimately led to the landmark Supreme Court decision in Brown vs Board of Education. We are shown what "seperate but equal" means in the ramshackle conditions of many schools, dozens of young children piling into cars, the disparity in state funding and many other facets of the educational reality for Negro students. This is a visual presentation (no sound...sorry) and was produced in partnership with the Harmon Foundation.
