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. Lefever argues that the participation of Spelman's students and faculty in the Civil Rights Movement represented both a continuity and a break with the institution's earlier history. …

The Value-Orientations of the Religious Poor
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…

The argument is made that the religion of the poor contributes in significant and positive ways to the processes of identity formation and to the development and maintenance of cultural values and norms.
