Educating the Masses : The Unfolding History of Black School Administrators in Arkansas, 1900-2000 Paperback / softback

Edited by C. Calvin Smith, Linda Walls Joshua

Paperback / softback

Description

Under segregation and in its aftermath, black teachers and principals created havens of dignity and uplift for their students and communities.

In Arkansas, where even education for white children has always been underfunded, the work of these administrators has been particularly heroic.

This book, researched and prepared by the Research Committee of the Retired Educators of Little Rock and Other Public Schools, outlines the challenges to generations of black administrators in the state, and it maps their achievements.

It also offers the first reference guide to the personnel who have educated generations of black children through the most extreme of circumstances.
