| Abstract | "William L. Bulkley, 1861-1933: African American Educator and Reformer explores the many contributions that this little-known man made to civil rights and education reform during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Bulkley was born to free, mixed-race parents in South Carolina just as the Civil War began. He graduated from Claflin University in South Carolina and Syracuse University, where he earned a PhD in Latin. He also studied at Wesleyan University, Strasburg University, and the Sorbonne. After teaching for fourteen years at Claflin University, Bulkley moved to New York City where he became an innovative educator, established an evening school, and was the first African American principal of a predominantly white school. He was involved in many of the civil rights organizations active during the first decade of the 20th century, working alongside W. E. B. Du Bois, Mary White Ovington, Booker T. Washington, and other activists. Bulkley was the founder of the Committee for Improving the Industrial Condition of the Negro in New York, in 1906. He was one of the founders of the NAACP (1909) and the National Urban League (1911). By 1916, he had withdrawn from the public struggle for racial uplift and concentrated on his role as educator. Upon retirement, Bulkley moved to France, where he died in 1933. He left no papers. His story is told through his writings, public records, newspaper articles, and archival documents. William L. Bulkley was one of the important educators and reformers of the early 20th Century and it is now time to incorporate him into the American story"--Provided by publisher. |
