Through oral histories and other research, this group memoir considers how the students, despite their markedly different backgrounds, shared a common experience that greatly influences their present interactions and views of the world--sometimes in surprising ways. The book is also an exploration of memory and the ways in which the same event can be remembered in very different ways by the participants. The editors (proud members of Murrah High School's Class of 1973) and more than fifty students and teachers address the reality of forced desegregation in the Deep South from a unique perspective--that of the faculty and students who experienced it and made it work, however briefly. The book tries to capture the few years in which enough people were so willing to do something about racial division that they sacrificed immediate expectations to give integration a true chance. This period recognizes a rare moment when the political will almost caught up with the determination of the federal courts to finally do something about race. Because of that collision of circumstances, southerners of both races assembled in the public schools and made integration work by coming together, and this book seeks to capture those experiences for subsequent generations"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aSchool integration$zMississippi$zJackson 606 $aHigh school students$zMississippi$zJackson 606 $aDiscrimination in education$zMississippi$zJackson 606 $aSchool integration$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aDiscrimination in education$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aJackson (Miss.)$xRace relations 615 0$aSchool integration 615 0$aHigh school students 615 0$aDiscrimination in education 615 0$aSchool integration$xHistory. 615 0$aDiscrimination in education$xHistory. 676 $a379.2630976251 702 $aHorn$b Teena F. 702 $aHuffman$b Alan 702 $aJones$b John Griffin 702 $aBarksdale$b Claiborne 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818618903321 996 $aLines were drawn$94067759 997 $aUNINA
