Description:... This volume examines the critical role the black community played in organising the Chicago school reform in the 1960s, during the Civil Rights and Black Power eras. Although many people focus on the current Chicago school reform efforts, there must be a clear understanding of the roots of that effort which took place in the 1960s and this title provides just that.
