White Baptist magazines publicized black-owned schools as parallel educational projects.

Evidence

The pages of the white Baptist women’s magazines featured as well campus life at the Home Mission Society’s coeducational schools, such as Shaw University in Raleigh or Benedict in South Carolina. At the same time, the magazines carried reports of schools owned by black Baptists. These reports covered many of the same points of interest: a school’s history; Thanksgiving and Christmas activities on campus; physical alterations or additions to school buildings; crowded dormitory conditions; the steady intellectual and religious growth of the students; the great financial sacrifice on the part of many to attend school; work of students during the summer months; deaths and illnesses of teachers and students; and the persistent plea for more teachers and buildings. — Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham, Righteous Discontent, 515
