In the 1970s, when Charlotte began court-ordered busing, black and white families made West Charlotte the celebrated flagship of the most integrated major school system in the nation. But as the twentieth century neared its close and a new court order eliminated race-based busing, Charlotte schools resegregated along lines of class as well as race. West Charlotte became the city's poorest, lowest-performing high school--a striking reminder of the people and places that Charlotte's rapid growth had left behind. While dedicated teachers continue to educate children, the school's challenges underscore the painful consequences of resegregation. Drawing on nearly two decades of interviews with students, educators, and alumni, Pamela Grundy uses the history of a community's beloved school to tell a broader American story of education, community, democracy, and race--all while raising questions about present-day strategies for school reform"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a West Charlotte High School (Charlotte, N.C.) $x History. 610 27 $a West Charlotte High School (Charlotte, N.C.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01670147 650 0 $a Educational equalization $z Charlotte $z Charlotte $x History. 650 0 $a School integration $z Charlotte $z Charlotte $x History. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Education (Secondary) $z Charlotte. $z Charlotte. 651 0 $a Charlotte (N.C.) $x Race relations. 650 7 $a African Americans $x Education (Secondary) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799609 650 7 $a Educational equalization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00903418 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a School integration. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01107474 651 7 $a North Carolina $z Charlotte. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204596 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 2 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20180118010109.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180104062232.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C15B9CA2F11E11E79D0FC10F97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
