I too appreciated learning about the attempt to integrate the schools in Boston. It's helpful to have books like this to fill in the gaps of my history knowledge.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662811441487822589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-36123342942451251052016-02-10T12:36:47.021-07:002016-02-10T12:36:47.021-07:00Glad to hear your opinion of the Markel text.

I'm interested to see if I can find the third Clinton book you mention in the comments--it's fascinating to compare several books that all come out on the same topic.Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02251236377525751515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-57378011934996298982016-02-10T10:52:42.169-07:002016-02-10T10:52:42.169-07:00I had no idea that Boston integrated its schools i...I had no idea that Boston integrated its schools in the 1800s, I've already learned something new! It's so hard to imagine a young child being expelled from school like that, I'm glad that these stories are being told, so we don't take things for granted that were won for us only through hard work, sacrifice and determination.
