Description
This book is a history of the school desegregation battle in Newberry, SC, which resulted in a student boycott of classes at Gallman High School, the only black high school in the county, in the fall of 1969. Starting with the Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court case in 1896, the book traces the growing protest movement against Jim Crow and the political-economic conditions that made protest possible. The author uses newspaper research and interviews with participants to construct the story of protest in Newberry and the details of the student boycott.
