Slaves ain't gettin' no edumacation

African Americans were not allowed to be educated while being a slave. Im sure that they would have like to have been, but rules say they are not allowed to. If they found a way to learn something, it was kept in secret. Slaves were not allowed to learn to reaad or write, so they took interest in learning from previous taught slaves. Although slavery ended at one point theywere still facing road blocks. Schools soon became open to African Americans, but there was a catch. Segragation; This allowed whites to be seperated from blacks. The black population that wanted to attend schools and get an education. The white americans attended a higher class school to get their education, while the blacks schools were dirty and unkept. It took a very extensive amount of time for the white and black population to intertwine in more ways then just education.
