A documentary about the African American struggle for educational equality in Tennessee.
Education: The Key to Freedom documents the impressive strides by former slaves to gain an education in postbellum Tennessee. Not only were thousands learning to read and write, they soon had access to higher education as several Black colleges opened across the state. Despite court-ordered desegregation efforts, the integration of public schools remains an elusive goal to this day.
