Black schools helped the black man to find himself. He found his identity through the school. This identity was and is the most essential thing for man, race, or nation. With the discovery of identity one can draw analogies about his place or position in the world. Identity was not the objectives of these schools, and one should note that this identity was the result of many years of struggle. It was not an overnight occurrence. This is not to say that all blacks have self-identity, for they don’t. Black inferior schools were wonderful if you compared them with other black schools.
