Lines Were Drawn
Lines Were Drawn is a collection of oral histories primarily by white students who attended Murrah High School in Jackson, Mississippi, during the early years of court-ordered desegregation (1971–1973).

Confronting the “Acid Test”
This study examines educators' perspectives on accountability mandates designed to expand access to the College Board's Advanced Placement (AP) classes to traditionally underserved students at a diverse suburban high school in Florida, Palm Crest High School.

In the Crossfire
In the Crossfire examines the life of Marcus Foster, an urban school reformer, who, while serving as a school superintendent in Oakland, California, was assassinated by the Symbionese Liberation Army (sla) in 1973.

Thurgood Marshall chief counsel for the National Association for the Advan…

As part of a college-wide commitment to infusing diversity into educator preparation, focus groups were conducted to determine (a) faculty efforts to infuse diversity, (b) instructional approaches used, (c) factors that facilitate or hinder infusion, and (d) supports needed to enhance efforts. Results are presented highlighting personal professional development needs, contextual factors, and student-centered challenges that affect the extent to w…
African Americans and the Struggle for Opportunity in Florida Public Higher Education, 1947-1977
In the decades following World War II, access to higher education became an important vehicle for expanding opportunity in the United States. The African American-led Civil Rights Movement challenged discrimination in higher education at a time when state and federal government leaders saw strengthening public higher education as necessary for future economic growth and development. Nationally, the 1947 President's Commission on Higher Education …
Accountability in a Postdesegregation Era
In the wake of both the end of court-ordered school desegregation and the growing popularity of accountability as a mechanism to maximize student achievement, the authors explore the association between racial segregation and the percentage of students passing high-stakes tests in Florida’s schools. Results suggest that segregation matters in predicting school-level performance on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test after control for other …
