In this compelling book, the authors put a human face on desegregation practices in the South. Focusing on an African American community in Alabama, they document not only the gains but also the significant losses experienced by students when their community school was closed and they were forced to attend a White desegregated school across town. This in-depth volume includes: A letter by Dr. William Hooper Councill and speeches by George Washington Trenholm—two African American leaders who worked with communities to provide quality schooling for African American children during segregation.An insider’s view of what life was like inside a segregated African American school—including interviews with graduates who discuss how it felt to be in a caring and nurturing school that provided an atmosphere much like that of a family.Actual events that demonstrate the profound negative impact of using skin color and race as a basis for preferential treatment—including testimonials from parents and students who experienced racial discrimination in their new school. A valuable look at the unmet promises of school desegregation that can help us provide a quality education for all children in the 21st century. “Morris and Morris through their careful research have painted a picture of reality, the type of picture that educators, community leaders, and policymakers must see in order to give a proper assessment of what is going on and what should be done. This clear, straightforward presentation is as necessary as it is powerful.” —From the Foreword by Asa G. Hilliard, III “I found it difficult to put this book down. The Price They Paid is one of the few books that looks at changes in the desegregation of education from the point of view of those living the changes.” —Lucindia H. Chance, Dean, College Of Education, Georgia Southern University

Confronting a reality that many policy makers would prefer to ignore, contributors to this volume offer the latest information on the trend toward the racial and socioeconomic resegregation of southern schools. In the region that has achieved more widespread public school integration than any other since 1970, resegregation, combined with resource inequities and the current "accountability movement," is now bringing public education in the South to a critical crossroads. In thirteen essays, leading thinkers in the field of race and public education present not only the latest data and statistics on the trend toward resegregation but also legal and policy analysis of why these trends are accelerating, how they are harmful, and what can be done to counter them. What's at stake is the quality of education available to both white and nonwhite students, they argue. This volume will help educators, policy makers, and concerned citizens begin a much-needed dialogue about how America can best educate its increasingly multiethnic student population in the twenty-first century.

This book tells of the challenges faced by white and black school administrators, teachers, parents, and students as Alachua County, Florida, moved from segregated schools to a single, unitary school system. After Brown v. Board of Education, the South’s separate white and black schools continued under lower court opinions, provided black students could choose to go to white schools. Not until 1968 did the NAACP Legal Defense Fund convince the Supreme Court to end dual school systems. Almost fifty years later, African Americans in Alachua County remain divided over that outcome. A unique study including extensive interviews, We Can Do It asks important questions, among them: How did both races, without precedent, work together to create desegregated schools? What conflicts arose, and how were they resolved (or not)? How was the community affected? And at a time when resegregation and persistent white-black achievement gaps continue to challenge public schools, what lessons can we learn from the generation that desegregated our schools?

Mary is a very proud wife, mother, retired educator, community activist, and now an aspiring writer. Living in a world of complex social, political and economic challenges, Mary offers her work as an incentive for prospective black writers to uncover and/or discover the vast knowledge of African American history, still locked in our ancestors' storehouses, bibles, important family documents and other relatives' records. Completing the story of the humanity and genius of black Americans, both individually and together, Mary feels, is a goal worth working for. Therefore, Mary's story is a labor of love and historical necessity, to trace the journey of African Americans from segregation to desegregation in the Baltimore County public schools during the Jim Crow Era (1945 to 1955). This story demonstrates how success not failure is the product of courage and determination in the midst of injustice and divisiveness that existed in our black communities during the Jim Crow Era. Today, African Americans are still being challenged to fight for equality and justice even though gains have been made since the Civil Rights Movement of the sixties. Mary is a living witness to the cruelty of racism inflicted by Jim Crow Laws and ironically the Supreme Court prior to 1954 when racism was deeply rooted in public education until it became unlawful on May 17, 1954. From 1945 to 1954, Mary was enrolled as a student at Banneker, a segregated School in Catonsville, Maryland. Banneker was the only junior-high school available for black students in Catonsville's school district. Challenging the laws of separate but equals, which justified separation of the races in public facilities, became very important to black children like Mary and her classmates, who only wanted an opportunity to obtain a good education. Mary's book title, "Integration, A Doorway to Success" , represents the spirit of African American students who shared this journey with her. Their struggle to overcome segregation in their school and communities represents their courage, determination and perseverance to accomplish their mission. Their hope is that this story will inspire young people to dream big and allow no one to deter them from their dreams by telling them what they can't do or who they can't become. Mary resides in Columbia, Maryland with her husband of 56 years, Charles Lee Brown Sr. They are the proud parents of two sons; Rev. Charles L. Brown JR, founder and pastor of Family of Faith AME Church, St. Thomas, Virgin Island and Michael Anthony Brown, Computer Engineer, Johns Hopkins Medical Systems."ƒ
