1800s: The Tiers of Education

The mentioned passages can be found on pages 487, 491-4, and 508. The screen cast kinds of cuts off, so I just want to add that it's sad that, despite the laws, it took a long time for there to be equal opportunities in education. Segregation was prominent long after slavery was abolished and public school was available to everyone. It's great that institutions like the Penn Center were there to initially help the blacks, but I'm glad that education has changed to invite diversity. When I hear about people in other countries who are risking their lives to have an education, I appreciate American freedom (and the risks taken to obtain it) more.
