Cincinnati Heritage Programs Speakers Bureau: The Rise of Public Schools - Live

In 1825, the State of Ohio passed a law for a half-mill tax to be collected to pay for public schools. That led to the establishment in 1829 of “The Common Schools of Cincinnati.” Hear how, prior to the Civil War, the city’s African-American residents successfully moved to create their own, separate, public school system. Find out about the "Bible Wars" that impacted public schools.
