Talk:Education during the slave period in the United States

Children taught slaves
I've read many times that white children also taught slaves how to read, Frederick Douglass being one. Pepper9798 (talk) 03:39, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

Unique condition?
Does anyone know of any other place where slave literacy/education was prohibited by law? To my knowledge it’s a uniquely American phenomenon that should be mentioned in the article. deisenbe (talk) 14:18, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
