Part 1: This program profiles the passionate crusade launched by Thomas Jerrerson and continued by Noah Webster, Horance Mann and others to create a common system of tax-supported schools that would mix people of different backgrounds and reinforce the bonds of democracy in the new nation. But this noble experiment was opposed from the start by racial prejudice and fears of taxation VHS |
