 nth\, Ralph Buglass from Montgomery History's Speakers Bureau will present
 \, Separate but UNequal: the History of School Segregation in Montgomery C
 ounty. Segregation is a painful part of Montgomery County's past and atten
 dees will gain a greater understanding of how-- "Education\, denied to sla
 ves\, was one of the highest priorities of emancipated African Americans. 
 But in Montgomery County\, where slavery existed\, public education was no
 t extended to black children until a decade after it was instituted for wh
 ite children. Even then\, the practice of &ldquo\;separate but equal&rdquo
 \; schools was anything but equal\, and no black high school was built unt
 il well into the 20th century. A surprising number of these African Americ
 an schools still exist in the county\, including several erected through a
  partnership between Booker T. Washington and philanthropist Julius Rosenw
 ald that helped improve black education all over the South." -- from Montg
