Abstract

Abstract:The anti-slavery ministry of Rev. John G. Fee and the unlikely establishment of Berea College in Kentucky in the 1850s, the first college in the southern United States to be coeducationally and racially integrated, are examined to further understand the conditions surrounding these extraordinary historical events. The Berea case illustrates how early twentieth century legal institutions were suffused with racism and justifications for racial discrimination even to the extent that they neutered the laws intended to provide redress to Black citizens, while the court approved of racial prejudice as a natural protection from what it considered to be an unnatural amalgamation.

伯里亚大学男女同校和种族融合:19世纪50年代一个不可能的偶然事件

摘要:本文考察了19世纪50年代约翰·g·费牧师(Rev. John G. Fee)的反奴隶制运动，以及美国南部第一所男女同校、种族融合的大学——肯塔基州伯里亚学院(Berea College)的成立，以进一步了解这些非凡历史事件的背景。伯里亚案说明了20世纪早期的法律制度是如何充斥着种族主义和种族歧视的理由，甚至在某种程度上，它们削弱了旨在为黑人公民提供补救的法律，而法院则认为种族偏见是一种自然保护，可以防止它认为是不自然的融合。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Negro Education (JNE), a refereed scholarly periodical, was founded at Howard University in 1932 to fill the need for a scholarly journal that would identify and define the problems that characterized the education of Black people in the United States and elsewhere, provide a forum for analysis and solutions, and serve as a vehicle for sharing statistics and research on a national basis. JNE sustains a commitment to a threefold mission: first, to stimulate the collection and facilitate the dissemination of facts about the education of Black people; second, to present discussions involving critical appraisals of the proposals and practices relating to the education of Black people.
