Undaunted by the Fight
Undaunted by the Fight is a study of small but dedicated, group of Spelman College students and faculty who, between 1957 and 1967 risked their lives, compromised their grades, and jeopardized their careers to make Atlanta and the South a more just and open society.

This study is an investigation of the value-orientations of the residents of a low-income neighborhood in Atlanta, Georgia, as evidenced through their religious beliefs and behavior. Talcott Parsons' framework of pattern variables was used to analyze the data collected. Data were collected on four of Parsons' five pattern variables. The value-orientations that were found to exist in the neighborhood are affectivity, self-orientation, particularis…
