The purpose of this study was to explore the dynamics of racial change through the landmark appointment of the Black social scientist, Allison Davis, to the faculty of the University of Chicago in 1942. As archival materials make clear, the appointment came to fruition through the collaboration of powerful White liberals at the Julius Rosenwald…

Desegregation marked the beginning of a long period of loss of Black teachers within the profession. First, Black teachers were not hired in desegregated schools, and then as other professional opportunities opened up in society, fewer Blacks entered the teacher pipeline. The purpose of this literature review is to synthesize research relevant to…

Suggests that the displacement of black educators has social implications that are worthy of national attention. For example, their absence from rural and urban classrooms is a sociological and economic shock. (Author/AM)

The intersection of the concepts of accountability and choice and their impact on students of color in the United States is described. It was found that students of color will be doubtful recipients of either equality of opportunity or greater educator accountability, with the current government activity.

Discusses some of the deleterious results that school desegregation has had for Black children. (Author/AM)

The "freedom of choice" strategy is discussed as an alternative to the cultural deficit orientation that underlies current school desegregation strategies, since the latter are failing to make any educational difference for Black children. (Author/AM)

The major hypothesis of this study, that the long term effect of integration would not be a negative influence on the psychological well-being of the black student, is supported by the results. (Author)

Describes the difficulties encountered by Virginia localities in marketing their school bonds in years immediately following the "Brown" decision (1954-1959). (GC)

An examination of the merits of integrated school systems with respect to academic impact, the potential for improving race relations and the likelihood of bettering life opportunities for black students. Recent critiques of school integration are also evaluated. The tentative evidence is that interracial education, especially when implemented…

Deals with the displacement of black educators in Louisiana as a result of desegregation, and the mechanisms by which they are being displaced; displacement is defined here as the dismissal of black educators from the school system, or their demotion to less satisfying positions. (Author/JM)

Concludes that as integrated schooling has never really been tried on a large scale and desegregated schooling has failed miserably, integrated schooling as an operational concept deserves the attention of education planners. (Author/AM)

A survey was conducted of Black and White college students' attitudes to race relations both before and after one year at a desegregated university. Little evidence was found to support the theory that interracial contact leads to reduced prejudice. Apparently, attempts at universities to establish viable, positive desegregation are far from…

Reports a study which sought to investigate the effects of desegregation upon the raw score achievement levels of all pupils in Berkeley's schools in grades Kindergarten through Three for the year just prior to desegregation, and for the first two succeeding years of desegregation. (Author/JM)

White control over public education has not disappeared with desegregation, but has merely changed its form. Current desegregation efforts focus on giving Black children what is minimally necessary to achieve as much academically as White children, but continue to deprive Blacks of opportunities to gain power and privilege.

This article addresses the question of whether desegregated students have mobility-related attitudes which differ from segregated students. The analysis shows little difference between the two groups. (Author/AM)
