"Moonlight Schools for the Emancipation of Adult Illiterates" by Cora Wilson Stewart is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book documents the innovative movement of moonlight schools established in Kentucky aimed at eradicating adult illiteracy. It emphasizes the transformative role these schools played for individuals previously denied educational opportunities, highlighting the stories of those who sought to learn to read and write. The opening of the book outlines the dire need for adult education among Kentucky's mountain populations, whose ancestral legacy of education had stagnated. Cora Wilson Stewart recounts personal anecdotes that served as catalysts for the establishment of the moonlight schools, revealing the immense desire for knowledge among adults of all ages who had been denied education. The narrative sets the groundwork for a larger initiative, emphasizing the dedication of volunteer teachers and the community's enthusiastic response during the first sessions, where hundreds flocked to learn under the illumination of the moonlight—a powerful metaphor for enlightenment and social progress.
