2019 Society of Professors of Education Outstanding Book Award

“Resurrecting significant and lost voices of educators Miss Prim, Miss Parker, Mrs. Thomas, and graduating seniors Sarah and Herbert, this edited collection of rich narratives and creative nonfiction portrays elegantly what it meant to ‘become’ an African American progressive educator in the South in the 1940s and 1950s, animated by educators committed at once to equity, excellence, building character, and preparing students immersed in life journeys littered with racism.” Michelle Fine, Distinguished Professor of Critical Psychology and Women’s Studies, City University of New York

Inspired by the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience, the Museum of Education is currently working to establish an informal network of education sites of courage.

   
   
 
 
       
          This site served as an extension of the University of South Carolina Museum of Education's web exhibitions from 2000-2018. This page is now an archival site of past exhibitions as well as an independent venue for the presentation of new projects and exhibits by the Museum of Education, a non-institutionally-affiliated website.
