No southern black public school offered high school by 1910

Evidence

As late as 1910 no southern black community could claim a single public school offering two years of high school. In some places, such as Augusta, black education fared worse than it had in the early 1880s. It was the existence of private institutions that made black secondary education possible at all. — Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham, Righteous Discontent, 279
