Warner’s writing style is both engaging and informative, providing readers with a deep understanding of the social and political context in which the education of African Americans took place. Through detailed analysis and compelling narratives, Warner sheds light on the systemic barriers that hindered the progress of black students, while also highlighting the resilience and determination of those who fought for their right to learn.
