African Americans faced significant barriers to education, especially during the era of slavery and segregation. After the Civil War, the establishment of Freedmen's schools by organizations like the Freedmen's Bureau aimed to provide basic literacy and vocational training. Despite these efforts, access to quality education remained limited due to systemic racism and funding disparities. Over time, advocacy and the establishment of historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) played crucial roles in advancing educational opportunities for African Americans.
Africans have a great affinity for their American cousins and look up to them. They understand that only the best were sent to the New World and the standard of living for African-Americans is many times that of those who stayed in Africa. African-Americans are highly educated, many going to Harvard and Columbia Law School such as Barack Obama who was born in Kenya. Africans have a low standard of living and most are not educated. Is it any wonder that Africans hold successful African-Americans in such high esteem?
New freedmen tended to be more poorer and less educated
W.E.B. Du Bois believed that African Americans should be educated leaders who actively participate in society and advocate for civil rights. He emphasized the importance of higher education and the development of a "Talented Tenth," a group of educated Black leaders who could uplift the African American community. Du Bois was also a proponent of political activism and believed in the necessity of fighting against systemic racism and injustice. Ultimately, he envisioned a society where African Americans could achieve equality and full citizenship rights.
The Talented Tenth meant the 10% of African Americans who were the educated, would be the leaders of race improvement.

The Reconstruction Era occurs right after the Civil War, which along with freedom already provides changes to African Americans. Because of this, African Americans were no longer slaves and could perform in practices of business, such as sharecropping. Basically, it opened a range of new opportunities to African Americans.
