| | 1 | Author: | Du Bois, W. E. Burghardt | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | A Negro Schoolmaster in the New South  | | | | Published: | 1994 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | ONCE upon a time I taught school in the hills of Tennessee, where
the broad dark vale of the Mississippi begins to roll and crumple to greet
the Alleghanies. I was a Fisk student then, and all Fisk men think that
Tennessee — beyond the Veil — is theirs alone, and in vacation time they
sally forth in lusty bands to meet the county school commissioners.
Young and happy, I too went, and I shall not soon forget that summer,
ten years ago. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
