The African Americans developed and sustained a system of education so as to move forward from slavery to freedom in Richmond, Virginia and Alabama.
Step-by-step explanation:
After the civil war this was an opportunity for the African American people to improve their conditions, better their socio-economic conditions and claim their rights as an American Citizen.
African Americans' strategic alliances with non local groups supportive of education like the Freedom's Bureau, Northern Missionaries amounted to their Educational Reformation. They witnessed the growth of black education between 1865 and 1890 through two major developments - the Freedmen's schools and state-funded public schools.
