While northern, largely white philanthropists and missionary groups and the U. S. Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands, better known as the Freedmen's Bureau, did help create new educational opportunities, the African American public schools established after the Civil War ended were largely built and staffed by the black community. Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from the selection above? O Northern philanthropists, who were mostly white industrialists, did not have a serious interest in expanding educational opportunities for African Americans. O While educational opportunities expanded for African Americans during Reconstruction, the educational system was still mostly segregated. The federal Freedmen's Bureau did not do enough to establish educational access and equality for African Americans during Reconstruction. Even today, historically black colleges and universities founded during Reconstruction continue to train a disproportionate number of black professionals.​
