    Synopsis

    In this collection of 11 essays, contributors focus on the philanthropic efforts of African American individuals and groups, and its impact on education and society both within and outside the community. They describe nineteenth-century traditions of benevolence and education in an effort to create a conceptual framework of Black philanthropy, African American educational philanthropy in antebellum America, Booker T. Washington on philanthropy and aesthetics, the United Negro College Fund's image from 1944 to 1960, the linkages of education and service in the African American community, and the differing roles of philanthropy in the lives and work of Thurgood Marshall, A.G. Gastom, C. Eric Lincoln, Howard Thurman, Oseola McCarty and Edward M. Epstein. The editors included a suggested reading list. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
