Afterword
Fifty years ago, education was undergoing a number of major shifts. Brown v. Board of Education had declared segregation of public schools unconstitutional less than a decade before. As de facto segregation was challenged throughout the 1950s and 1960s, many public schools were in the position of serving students from more diverse backgrounds than ever before. Reactions to the Cold War and the space race had created greater emphasis on mathematic…
