Color and character : West Charlotte High and the American struggle over educational equality / Pamela Grundy. by Grundy, Pamela. author. Chapel Hill : The University of North Carolina Press, [2017] Description:  236 pages : illustrations, facsimiles, maps, portraits ; 25 cm Contents:  An African American school -- Civil rights -- Busing -- Building an integrated school -- Pulling apart -- Resegregation -- Separate and unequal -- Final thoughts: past, present, and future. Summary:  "West Charlotte opened in 1938 as a segregated school that embodied the aspirations of the growing African American population of Charlotte, North Carolina. In the 1970s, when Charlotte began court-ordered busing, black and white families made West Charlotte the celebrated flagship of the most integrated major school system in the nation. But as the twentieth century neared its close and a new court order eliminated race-based busing, Charlotte schools resegregated along lines of class as well as race. West Charlotte became the city's poorest, lowest-performing high school--a striking reminder of the people and places that Charlotte's rapid growth had left behind. While dedicated teachers continue to educate children, the school's challenges underscore the painful consequences of resegregation. Drawing on nearly two decades of interviews with students, educators, and alumni, Pamela Grundy uses the history of a community's beloved school to tell a broader American story of education, community, democracy, and race--all while raising questions about present-day strategies for school reform"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Peosta Library Circulation Stacks 373.09759 Gru 2017 Checked In Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
