Author: Michele Foster

Publisher: The New Press, 1998

An honest and compelling account of the politics and philosophies involved in the education of black children during the last fifty years of 20th-century USA. Michele Foster talked to the first educators to teach in desegregated southern schools and those who taught in large urban cities. Her book highlights the dignity, passion and commitment of Black teachers who care, can serve as the educational guidepost for those who seek to transform and renew a system that...lost its direction. It serves as an examination of the gains and losses for students of color and the challenges and rewards of teaching.
