Just 30 years after the 1870 Education Act introduced publicly funded schools, they had an attendance 1.9 million children.
Due to these schools, the gap in attaining literate occupations between lower- and higher-class children fell by approximately 18% in treated areas.

An important part of racial segregation in public accommodations (that economists and economic historians regularly miss) is that it was NOT about racial animus. It’s about dehumanization and debasement. It’s using the public sphere to tell people that they are is not fit to walk the Earth.
The Green Book Project is a fantastic resource for anyone trying to understand the full weight of the Jim Crow era, and how segregation —not of homes and where Black families could live— but the segregation of everything.
