EDUCATION


Picture
As far back as the early 1950's, Wilkie Clark was one of the strongest black education advocates in Randolph County, Alabama.  A review of the documentation available to us would reflect that not only was he concerned about the education of Black children during the "Separate-But-Equal" era, but he continued to be mindful and watchful of their issues during the post-desegregation era.

Also, you must bear in mind that the documents currently available to us, are very limited to what we could resurrect from newspaper archives compared to the massive amount of work that was actually done, and the numerous amount of documentation generated.  The task of obtaining and cataloging all the documents that have been produced would be completely unmanageable.

We have divided our observations of the Clark's Involvement in Local Education into three (3) sections, which you can review.   They are shown below.


Before Desegregation
After Desegregation
Dr. Effie Jean Fields' Research

However, please feel free to return to the Document Repository & Historical Artifacts page to access the numerous documents that bear witness to his activism.

We are constantly adding to our archive, and seeking new information about his activism.  If you think you have ANY information that might be of interest to us, PLEASE contact us immediately....  we would love it if you would share it with us.
