Review # 1 was written on 2020-06-13 00:00:00 Kathy Sill For any privileged white person who has ever idly wondered why race relations in this country are so bad; for the young man who has been vaguely offended and concerned by affirmative action; for anyone who has never heard the long and painful story of school desegregation; this book is a must-read. Dr. Pratt's book is a sweeping chronology of school desegregation from Brown v. Board of Education to 1989. His research focuses on the actions and reactions of whites and blacks in Virginia generally, and Richmond specifically. He relies on judicial opinions, newspaper editorials, personal interviews, and clear, simple statistics to describe the history and implications of school board and government policies. He makes the story very human, and though it is always clear which side is "in the right," he does not demonize the other. This book is captivating and very readable. I would recommend it to anyone who never lived through those times.
