Drawing on archival records and oral histories, this book gives voice to students, parents, teachers, school officials, and civic leaders to reconstruct this high-stakes drama. It explores how African Americans pressed for equality in curricula, higher education, teacher salaries, and school facilities; how white officials co-opted equalization as a means of forestalling integration; and, finally, how Black activism for equality evolved into a fight for something "greater than equal" - integrated schools that served as models of civic inclusion Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 319-343) and index Notes Online resource (HeinOnline, viewed July 29, 2021) Subject African Americans -- Education -- North Carolina -- History -- 20th century African Americans -- North Carolina -- Politics and government -- 20th century Segregation in education -- North Carolina -- History -- 20th century Education -- North Carolina -- History -- 20th century Public schools -- North Carolina -- History -- 20th century EDUCATION -- Students & Student Life.
