Lessons learned during mandated school desegregation in 1970 are still relevant today.
The school careers of two teenage girls–one black, one white–were altered by a court-ordered desegregation plan for Durham, NC in 1970. Their experiences, recounted in alternating first person narratives, are the embodiment of desegregation policies, situated in a particular time & place. Their stories & the lessons they provide continue to inform the greater conversation today.
