However, Reverend Rice and the principals who followed him have legacy behind a legacy which has invaluable lessons and great potential for developing educational prescriptions which will, at their foundation, give all black students a culturally affirming, culturally relevant education.This book clearly states that no matter how complicated and technologically sophisticated our Society becomes, the Bordentown School's philosophy, policies, and practices can still be a model which can be adapted for Reclaiming African American Students in the 21st Century. …
