Summary:
"In Faithful, Firm, and True: African-American Education in the
South, Titus Brown traces the dual roles of the northern American
Missionary Association (AMA) and the African American community of
Macon, Georgia, in their joint effort to provide education to blacks
in central Georgia. These education pioneers faced many formidable
obstacles, including poverty, disease, white hostility, low funds,
and a paucity of qualified teachers.".
"Faithful, Firm, and True: African-American Education in the South
provides a thorough analysis of the important contributions made by
early champions of black education in central Georgia and the central
role played by Ballard Normal School. It is essential reading for
scholars of African-American history, education, and Georgia
history."--BOOK JACKET.
