Slater Fund  

Definición

  • The Slater Fund was established by John Fox Slater, aiming to achieve the “uplifting of the lately emancipated population of the Southern States, and their posterity, by conferring on them the blessings of Christian education.” Although it was dedicated solely to the education of African Americans, the agents and trustees of the Slater Fund were part of an interlocking directorate of White architects of African American education who assumed leadership positions in the Jeanes Fund, the Phelps Stokes Fund, the Peabody Fund, the Rosenwald Fund, the General Education Board, and other major entities influencing African American education. They favored an industrial model of education, training African Americans for work in the trades, and a focus on religious principals.
