School Desegregation: The Continuing Challenge. Reprint Series, Number II.
This reprint is said to contain some of the most informative and clearest writing yet published on the complex subject of school desegregation. "School Desegregation: The Continuing Challenge", opens with editors' statement. "Not Just One Judge's Opinion: by Roger I. Abrams is a brief legal analysis of a court decision often cited in the literature, i.e., the Boston School decision, Morgan v. Henningan, delivered by Judge W. Arthur Garrity of the Boston Federal District on June 21, 1974. In "School Desegregation in Large Cities: A Critique of the Colemen White Flight Thesis", Thomas F. Pettigrew and Robert L. Green criticize the social science research most frequently employed by busing opponents to support their case and discuss the manner in which press and media reported (and failed to report), a complicated and confusing academic debate. James S. Coleman's response to their critique and the authors' reply to that response follow. In "Winson and Dovie Hudson's Dream," Marian Wright Edelman summarizes the progress of school desegregation and the debate surrounding the latter, demonstrating that many specific and procedural argument against school desegregation obscure more fundamental opposition to racial equality.
