Preferred term

General Education Board  

Definition

  • In 1898, a group of Christian ministers and progressive educators gathered in Capon Springs, West Virginia, at the first annual Conference for Education in the South and began a 60-year effort to improve public education in the former Confederate states. Out of their meetings would come an alliance between progressive Southerners and philanthropic Northern industrialists who organized the Southern Education Board (SEB), a research and propaganda organization, and the General Education Board (GEB), a foundation to fund projects advocated by the SEB. Between 1902 and 1964, the GEB appropriated $324.6 million to educational projects in the South. [Source: Encyclopedia of Educational Reform and Dissent; General Education Board]
