How women's efforts to reform public education in postbellum Georgia had the broader effect of reshaping social relations After the upheavals of Reconstruction, white men in Georgia made a concerted effort to restore state government to its antebellum role.

You're speaking of the school system in the South during the Great Depression. Naturally it wasn't as good as it could have been because of the lack of money all around. And black children were usually taught separately from white children, if taught at all.
