Description

A major social and educational experiment in race relations was once conducted in Berea, Kentucky, from 1866 to 1904. Throughout the ones years Berea contained a community, school, and church that have been all fully integrated: white other people, most commonly from the Kentucky Appalachian region, and black other people, former slaves and their children, from the Blue Grass country, lived, worked, and studied together in an atmosphere designed to foster social equality. Sears demonstrates that integration and social equality some of the races don’t seem to be unrealizable ideals; at Berea in the second one half of the 19th century these ideals were lived out in practical terms. The Berea project was once killed by state and federal legislation, now not by being intrinsically unworkable.
