What Black Educators Built
Walker, Vanessa Siddle
Educational Leadership, v76 n7 p12-18 Apr 2019
Author and education expert Vanessa Siddle Walker discusses the historical significance of desegregation, specifically looking at the way, prior to the "Brown vs. The Board of Education" ruling, that black educators worked to create an aspirational environment for their students and toiled behind the scenes to gain them access and equity. She also discusses how their vision was interrupted and not fully realized during integration.
