The first public schools for African Americans were established in cities such as Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and New York City. In Philadelphia, the African School was founded in 1787, while New York City opened its first public school for Black children in 1827. These early schools were crucial in providing education to African American communities, despite facing significant societal challenges and discrimination.
