This op-ed was published as a part of Disunion series by the New York Times which commemorated the sesquicentennial of the Civil War. More than one-hundred-and-fifty years ago, Americans went to war with themselves. Disunion revisited and reconsidered America’s most perilous period — using contemporary accounts, diaries, images and historical assessments to follow the Civil War as it unfolded. This essay explores the founding, growth, and eventual decline of Nashville’s clandestine pre-Civil War schools.

“The Relationships of Revolution: Martin Luther King, Jr., the Civil Rights Movement and Political Change in the Bahamas”…“breaks new ground in the scholarship on Martin Luther King, Jr., for no scholar has written in such compelling terms about King’s meaning for people in the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. As one who has thoroughly researched both the path toward nationalism in the Bahamas and the struggle for civil rights in America, deGregory is eminently qualified to write with authority about these issues. Needless to say, her chapter adds yet another piece to the puzzle that was and is the global King.” – Lewis V. Baldwin, Editor
