A Legacy of the 60s: Education, Race, and Reality.

Giddings, Paula J.

Change, v22 n2 p10-17 Mar-Apr 1990

A Black woman who came of age in the 1960s discusses her distrust of educational institutions, including Black institutions. She claims that they avoided issues of race, and it wasn't until the call of Black Power that an era of pluralism was initiated. Black feminist scholars are seen to have been undermined. (MLW)
