>>12853611>the progress can be seen in the ever dwindling black literacy rate, which is today lower than it was in 1850 and will be lower still over the next decade.I found that outrageous so been researching it. 15% of black 8th graders can pass a basic literacy test. In 1870, it was 30%. Interestingly in Jim Crow, segregation era 1910: 70%!
Incidentally the current era official government education docs I found blame it on racism and poverty. Lol lmao haha
