Invisible Founders by Lynn Rainville
Invisible Founders challenges our ideas of what a college founder is, restoring African American narratives to their deserved and central place in the story of a single institution.“Invisible Founders is a different kind of history of the university and the Black past than most of those published in the past few years, but that is one that has much to offer individuals who are working to bring this history to light at their own institutions” • Journal of Southern History
