Abstract
This chapter presents the elementary and high school experiences reflected among these participants and the varying roles that Black and White teachers and organizations played in supporting their educational pursuits. Collectively, they attended a variety of high schools: some college prep and others not; segregated public schools and mission schools for Blacks; private White high schools; and integrated public schools. For those participants who were raised in the North, experiences with Northern segregation, often in the context of educational co-curricular activities, are acknowledged. Southerners shared their experiences with or ideas of the North and what it would be like as well as the ways that segregation did not consistently demarcate their lives.
