“…We do not intend to overstate Reconstruction or designate it as a complete disjuncture from historical developments theretofore. There is continuity in how Reconstruction unfolded; namely, in the ways that violence connected the practices of enslavers, the military engagements of the Civil War, and the formation of the Ku Klux Klan (Parfait, 2009). Unfortunately, Reconstruction was summarily terminated and some of its progress undone with the Compromise of 1877, which ushered in the period of so-called Redemption.…”

This conceptual analysis centers two historical periods in which Black communities in the United States secured educational rights for themselves in spite of (not because of) intervention from the federal government. Drawing from the Critical Race Theory, the authors argue that Reconstruction and the post-Brown era offer valuable lessons for school leaders today about the ability—and even need—to operate autonomously from formal channels. The authors feature lessons from Reconstruction and Brown regarding self-reliance, community control, and the hard-won victories whose benefits extended far beyond the Black community itself. The authors conclude with implications for school leaders.

In 1909, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was created to protest against all forms of segregation, racial violence and economic oppression, and call for strict enforcement of the Fourteenth (1868) and Fifteenth (1870) Amendments to the Constitution, which provided former slaves with citizenship rights and equal protection under the laws, and granted black men the right to vote. Indeed, the platform of the "National Negro Committee," out of which the NAACP would emerge, laid particular emphasis on full civil rights for African Americans, equal educational opportunities, and the restoration of the right to vote, which had been denied to many Southern Blacks since the late nineteenth century. i The NAACP subsequently launched The Crisis Magazine,a Record of the Darker Race, ii a monthly publication meant to help in the fight for full civil rights and against stereotyped representations of African Americans. Black intellectual and civil rights activist W. E. B. Du Bois iii edited the Crisis from its creation until 1934. 2 In the first issue of the monthly, dated November 1911, Du Bois thus outlined the scope and intent of the magazine: it was to be "first and foremost a newspaper" that would "record important happenings and movements in the world which bear on the great problem of inter-racial relations, and especially those which affect Negro-Americans"; secondly, it would provide "a review of opinion and literature," and include "a few short articles." Finally, the editorial page would "stand for the rights of men, irrespective of color or race" and vigorously defend the "highest ideals of American democracy" (Crisis November 1910, 10). Evidently then, literature was not the main object of the magazine and, a few years later in 1927, arguing for the creation of a "purely literary magazine," African American writer and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston defined what, to her, were the limits of The Crisis and Opportunity, iv the two main African
