The Echo in My Soul and Ready from Within by Septima Clark

Most societies today recognize the value of receiving education. Most states graduate from school until they are at least 16 years old, but in some countries, everyone is required to join until 18 years old or until graduation. In South Carolina, the oldest child who can drop out of high school is 17 years old (FAQ). However, today's education is not necessarily considered a necessity. In the industrial era there were laws regulating child labor, but they were almost completely ignored (child labor in American history).

In 1959, Septima Clarke, Bernice Robinson, Esau Jenkins started the first civil rights school in Ocean Island, South Carolina with the help of Highlander Folklore School of Myles Horton, Tennessee. They teach literacy abilities for blacks to pass the voting test. This program was a huge success, and the number of black voters on Johns Island tripled. SCLC took over the plan and copied the results to other places. In the spring of 1951, black students in Virginia state protested their unequal status in the provincial isolated education system. Motton high school students protested overcrowding and facility failures. Some local leaders of the National Coloring Race Improvement Association tried to persuade students to oppose protests against Jim Crow's school separation law. When the students did not concede, the National Association for the promotion of color people joined the fight against school separation.

In the mid-1950s, under the leadership of Septima Clark, Esau Jenkins, Bernice Robinson, a citizenship program was developed to teach citizens' rights and basic literacy skills.

Rosa park is often called "mother of civil rights movement", but Semiti Poinsett Clark played the role of grandmother. Clark's work has played an integral role in the education and election of thousands of South African Americans. Her "Citizenship School" is a marginalized black community opposed to the law of Jim Crow and has the power to promote the grassroots of the civil rights movement. Clark was born in Charleston in 1898. In 1898 he was a father of a former slave and grew up in a household focused on education. From a very young age she worked hard and showed her ability to learn before becoming a teacher. As Charleston does not allow black teachers to teach Caucasian or Black students, her career began in Johns Island on Johns Island in 1916. Clark began petition in 1919 to allow Charleston's black teacher. Eventually, two-thirds of the black population in the city signed the petition and the ban was overturned.
