Segregated education in Texas

History[edit]

The history and status of Negro education in East Texas has been traced by William Riley Davis.[1] Little progress in secondary education was made before 1911, when the law for classification of high schools was passed, calling for grouping by the State Department of Education into schools of first, second, and third class. The major development in Negro secondary schools came in the last decade, for prior to 1925 little attempt was made by the State to classify Negro schools. In 1931 only 47 out of 300 schools had been classified by the committee on classification.[2][3]
