Blacks had been <a href="/wiki/Disfranchisement_after_Reconstruction_era" class="mw-redirect" title="Disfranchisement after Reconstruction era">disfranchised</a> throughout the South since the turn of the century, so services for them were typically underfunded. </p><p>Black communities strongly supported the schools, raising money, and sometimes contributing both land and labor.
