Carver High School: relic of an obsolete era

REV. MICHAEL ALLEN MUDGE, Crellin

Segregated schools are a part of American history. They were a part of American life.

Maryland had lacked "a uniform public school system and standardized education" as late as 1864, but segregation of the schools began that early when legislation of that year provided that the schools for Negroes would be supported by certain state and local funds and the county taxes paid by the black population, as well as private contributions.
