Board decision, it became clear to students, parents, and community members alike that court cases were insufficient in the pursuit of educational justice. This book explores what made it difficult for educational equality to become obtainable after the Brown decision as well as the resilience and activism of younger Black students who sought to enforce equality-even when the government could not. The 1954 ruling enabled public schools to reach a degree of desegregation but did not enable them to become "the learning institutions they could have become" due to the actions of white officials and local white communities who construed Black youth's articulation of educational redress as "adversarial" instead of as a "communal enterprise." Importantly, Audacious Agitation does not portray Black youth as objects of study but rather highlights their powerful agency in increasing opportunity for themselves through the educational system"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a African American youth $x History $z Georgia $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Student movements $z Georgia $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a School integration $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Discrimination in education $z Georgia $x History. 651 0 $a Georgia $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a African American youth $x Political activity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799552 650 7 $a Discrimination in education. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00895037 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a School integration. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01107474 650 7 $a Student movements. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01135954 651 7 $a Georgia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204622 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517011356.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8A259FAE8FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
