In this groundbreaking new history of autonomous grassroots education in the era of Black Power, Russell Rickford recovers the stories and significance of Pan African experimental schooling in the aftermath of the civil rights movement, organized to affirm African identities in the inner-city and provide young people with the intellectual resources and support they needed to help decolonize their minds.
