The Secret Network of Black Teachers Behind the Fight for Desegregation

[brer cat]

5. I look forward to reading this book.

My father was in charge of school consolidation in GA when they finally ended de jure segregation. It was a trying, very difficult task with emotions running very hot among white educators and parents.

Reading about this period through the eyes of black educators will be enlightening and no doubt troubling. The initial school integration in GA was a sham. All white private schools sprung up everywhere leaving the public schools essentially in de facto segregation even after the consolidation.

Thanks for posting this review, JHan.
