Confronting a reality that many policy makers would prefer to ignore, contributors to this volume offer the latest information on the trend toward the racial and socioeconomic resegregation of southern schools. In the region that has achieved more widespread public school integration than any other since 1970, resegregation, combined with resource inequities and the current ""accountability movement,"" is now bringing public education in the South to a critical crossroads. In thirteen essays, leading thinkers in the field of race and public education present not only the latest data an

"In this narrative account of school desegregation in Alabama, I uncover critical changes in segregationist strategy which allowed whites to engage in a long resistance movement, well after most historians consider 'massive resistance' to have ended. Using a malleable language of 'law and order' in their efforts to thwart desegregation litigation--including the landmark Lee v. Macon County Board of Education case--whites learned to protect what rights and privilege they could by crafting superficially race-neutral legislation designed to withstand court scrutiny. Scholars have explained how whites framed their flight to suburbs and private schools as protecting their right to associate with those of their own choosing, but I reveal here an even more damaging and enduring fight to protect white money. Using the lessons learned in the school desegregation battle, legislators in Alabama in the 1970s erected barriers to white taxation that continue to cripple public education in heavily black areas. And they have, more recently, achieved their longtime goal of funding racially exclusive private schools. In ongoing litigation, politicians who enacted these laws, and white communities which continue to secede from county school systems, insist that their motivations have nothing to do with race. Those who read this book will know better"--

In 1987 Judge Russell Clark mandated tax increases to help pay for improvements to the Kansas City, Missouri, School District in an effort to lure white students and quality teachers back to the inner-city district. Yet even after increasing employee salaries and constructing elaborate facilities at a cost of more than 2 billion, the district remained overwhelmingly segregated and student achievement remained far below national averages. Just eight years later the U.S. Supreme Court began reversing these initiatives, signifying a major retreat from Brown v. Board of Education.

When Huston Diehl began teaching a fourth-grade class in a ""Negro"" elementary school in rural Louisa County, Virginia, the school's white superintendent assured her that he didn't expect her to teach ""those children"" anything. She soon discovered how these low expectations, widely shared by the white community, impeded her students' ability to learn. With its overcrowded classrooms, poorly trained teachers, empty bookshelves, and meager supplies, her segregated school was vastly inferior to the county's white elementary schools, and the message it sent her students was clear: ""dream not
