  • The Drive for Racially Inclusive Schools

    Open AccessAbigail ThernstromARTICLEThe Annals of the American…1992

    Disproportionate numbers of black students do poorly on standardized tests; strategies to improve American education thus frequently target inner-city schools. These strategies often have an unrecognized affirmative action component. A search for more minority students or teachers is clearly an affirmative action effort, but the elimination of all tracking or competency grouping is another matter. It is normally viewed as nothing more than a peda…

  • Boston against Busing

    Abigail Thernstrom, Ronald P FormisanoARTICLEThe Journal of Interdisciplinary…1992

    Perhaps the most spectacular reaction to court-ordered busing in the 1970s occurred in Boston, where there was intense and protracted protest. Ron Formisano explores the sources of white opposition to school desegregation. Racism was a key factor, he argues, but racial prejudice alone cannot explain the movement. Class resentment, ethnic rivalries, and the defense of neighborhood turf all played powerful roles in the protest. In a new epilogue, F…

  • Whose Votes Count? Affirmative Action and Minority Voting Rights

    Hugh Davis Graham, Abigail Thernstrom et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Southern History1989

    The Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States guarantees that all citizens have the right to vote without regard to their race, color, or previous condition of servitude. For almost a century the Fifteenth Amendment was a dead letter. Throughout the South millions of nonwhite Americans were excluded from the process by poll taxes, literacy tests, and other devices. The landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965 sought to end that injus…
