Abstract The Race to Educate is an exploration of Black resistance to educational segregation in Kentucky, 1865-1910. Set in Kentucky, this dissertation examines the ways in which Blacks struggled to address and mitigate the impact of U.S. segregation, especially as it related to education. Through the experiences of Blacks who resisted efforts to undermine their freedom, this dissertation challenges presumptions that segregation was an effort that Blacks did not try to address in its earliest forms. Additionally, this dissertation identifies individuals who participated in these efforts and investigates the relationship between oppression and segregation. Finally, this dissertation identifies such results of resistance as Kentucky State University and Lincoln Institute. The Race to Educate challenges the reader to recognize Blacks as active, engaged, and significant participants in their educational journey and thus their quest for freedom.
