Martin Luther King, Jr., the Civil Rights Movement, and Educational Reform.
Willie, Charles Vert; Sanford, Jayminn Sulir
Educational Policy, v5 n1 p29-43 Mar 1991
Educational opportunity and civil rights are the bedrock of America's best and worst attempts to achieve pluralism. The civil rights movement shook the nation's moral fiber, weakening only after reaching the highest governing bodies. Educational reform efforts could learn much from this lesson in successful social transformation. Educational improvement is still needed! Includes 28 references. (MLH)
