History To-Go: Early School

In the 1875 state constitution it was declared “the children of the white race and the children of the colored race shall be taught in separate public schools.” Native Americans in North Carolina asked the state government for public schools with Native American teachers, effectively creating 3 different school systems: one for white children, one for black children, and one for Native American children. Public schools in North Carolina didn’t integrate until 1971.
