Abstract

Abstract This paper examines the first mandatory Black history curriculum in a US public school system, implemented in Chicago Public Schools between 1942 and 1945. Researched and designed by Madeline Morgan, the curriculum supplemented existing social studies lesson plans with Black people's contributions to US society. How did she win approval for the curriculum in this highly segregated and inequitable city? The commitment of Morgan and her network of Black women educators to “intellectual emancipation” during the 1940s aligned with white schoolteachers and administrators’ interest in promoting interracial tolerance in the US during World War II.

“黑人的思想解放”:玛德琳·摩根和二战期间芝加哥的强制性黑人历史课程

摘要本文考察了美国公立学校系统中第一个黑人历史必修课程，该课程于1942年至1945年间在芝加哥公立学校实施。该课程由马德琳·摩根研究和设计，以黑人对美国社会的贡献补充了现有的社会研究课程计划。在这个高度种族隔离和不公平的城市，她是如何获得课程批准的？摩根和她的黑人女性教育者网络在20世纪40年代致力于“知识解放”，这与二战期间白人学校教师和管理人员对促进美国种族间宽容的兴趣相一致。
