Dr. Willa Beatrice Player: A Quiet But Resolute Force For Social Justice, Kelsey Bogard
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Dr. Willa Beatrice Player survived the college presidency during one of America's most tumultuous times, the 1950s and 1960s. Unfortunately, like the many other Black women's contributions, there is very little known about Dr. Player's work in education. Very little is also being done in scholarship and research to correct this problem. This historical research study seeks to depict accurately Dr. Willa Beatrice Player's role as an educator, college administrator, civil rights activist, federal appointee, and Bennett College's first woman president. She was an advocate for social justice and equity. Her work to further the academic and political agendas that …

On July 2nd, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed the first Morrill Act to establish colleges for educating the middle-class and the poor in the field of agriculture, military tactic, and mechanics without excluding the classical studies (Smith & Wilson, as cited in Comer et al., 2006; Thelin, 2011; Seals, 1998; Mayberry, 1991; National Archives & Record Administration [NARA], n.d.a; Neyland).

The Role Of Tuskegee Institute In The Establishment Of A Higher Education Pipeline For Black Students: The Case Of Snow Hill Institute, Barbara J. Aaron Brooks
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to understand the role of collegiate Black women in the establishment and development of rural industrial education in the post-Civil War and segregated south. Black women’s voices and experiences have generally been excluded from the narrative of Black education and thus excluded from the larger conversation on Black education progression. This study, therefore, focused on Black women in this process. This study was important because it presented an examination of Black women’s experiences in rural industrial education, while attempting to chronicle the rich history of Snow Hill Institute. The institute served as a continuum …

Changes discussed by the participants were both personal and professional in nature. Several changes, including personal and professional growth and the individualization of counselingPsychology doctoral study, constituted primary sources …
