What does this law reveal about African Americans' access to education in mid-nineteenth
century Virginia?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Education was very limited for African Americans during that time frame.

Explanation:

This law made it illegal for white people to teach African Americans to read or write, and since very very few of them knew how, and white people were not allowed to teach them, almost none of them received an education.
