During this time it was more common for boys to receive more education compared to the girls. Although they contributed to American history, schooling began to develop and change its ways for the better. Puritans would teach students the bible and made church a mandatory event. The puritans wanted loyal citizens to practice and worship their religion only. According to the article, “it was designed to prepare students for college and, ultimately, for the ministry, the law, and sometimes medicine.” This proves that there weren't many options for students and it limited them from truly developing and opening their minds to a proper education.

Although the Quakers were religious too, they definitely were more open to accepting other forms of education and females were attending as well. They supported women's rights and according to the article describes it as, “believed that spiritual, social, and intellectual growth are closely linked.” Despite the ideas developed by the puritans, the Quakers took their ideas and expanded them for more opportunities. Quakers were all about community, peace, and caring for the student process of development. The Quakers were all about simplicity, but they would say that there is God in every person.

This occurred after the American civil war and has significantly changed the course of life that we endure in today's society. During this time, 3 different amendments, the 13th, 14th, and 15th, were put in place in hopes to gain equality for African Americans. This time in history had an extreme amount of backlash but gives everyone a new perspective on life and education. Although these amendments were put in place, discrimination continued to exist. The reconstruction era consisted of enslaved people running for and winning political office and they fought for economic independence. It is evident that education has and will continue to develop.

He was raised as a slave and worked in mines during the time when African Americans were living in poverty, uneducated, and banned from voting. This is when his desire for equality and proper education sparked. Over time he found himself attending a formal school called the Hampton Institute. This led to the creation of one of the most prestigious African American institutes called Tuskegee. Washington advocated for African Americans but didn't believe in protests and disobeying the rules. He believed that people should obtain an education and acquire certain skills needed for society. From that point on, schools for African Americans developed all over.

Du Bois was another developer of education and civil rights advocate. Just like Booker T. Washington, Du Bois felt strongly about equal rights, not compromise. However, du Bois believed that civil rights would be granted with protests and agitation. Du Bois opposed the “Atlanta Compromise,” articulated in a speech given in 1895 by Booker T. Washington. Although Washington and du Bois had different visions of gaining respect from the white population. Education was denied to so many African Americans during the slavery era and the development of schools and institutions was seen as a pathway to full citizenship and true freedom. These schools were very accepting for both men and women which is a symbol of positivee change. While washington believed in accepting the backlash and disrimination, de bois was more rational and urged immediate results.

In 1868, the fourteenth amendment granted citizenship to the newly freed slaves. In 1870, the 15th amendment guaranteed the right to vote regardless of race. These years are very significant and act as stepping stones toward African Americans obtaining rights and protection. Despite these Amendments, African Americans were often treated differently than whites in many parts of the country, especially in the South. Blacks and whites were told not to use the same public facilities. In 1892, an African American man named Homer Plessy made a brave choice to refuse to give up his seat to a white man on a train. Plessy fought his arrest and the case went all the way to the supreme court. This became a 1954 Supreme Court case that ruled racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional. These events led to the development of  “separate, but equal.”This was a turning point in history for African Americans.

The little rock nine consisted of 9 black students,  Ernest Green, Minnijean Brown, Elizabeth Eckford, Thelma Mothershed, Melba Pattillo, Gloria Ray, Terrence Roberts, Jefferson Thomas, and Carlotta Walls. These brave individuals wanted to put the case of Brown v. The Board of Education to the test by enrolling in a formerly all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, in September 1957. They challenged racial segregation based off their devotion to the series of events that occur. The 9 students were harassed and threatened by white students. African American history is vital to understanding America's history and the way that education evolved. These events inspired African Americans to stand up for themselves and work hard to put an end to racism.

According to the article, “After still more hearings before the Court concerning the matter of desegregation, on May 31, 1955, the Justices handed down a plan for how it was to proceed; desegregation was to proceed with "all deliberate speed.” Brown II was very important because they were responsible for officially getting the process of desegrigation started.The court determined that the seperate but equal policy itself is unequal. This case was the last stepping stone for allowing equality in regards to getting an education.
