• Sommario/riassunto: "A fresh examination of an underexplored aspect of the civil rights movement--teacher activism. Drawing on oral history interviews and archival research, Schooling the Movement examines the pedagogical activism and vital contributions of Black teachers throughout the Black freedom struggle. By illuminating teachers' activism during the long civil rights movement, the editors and contributors connect the past with the present, contextualizing teachers' longstanding role as advocates for social justice. Schooling the Movement moves beyond the prevailing understanding that activism was defined solely by litigation and direct-action forms of protest. The authors in this volume broaden our conceptions of what it meant to actively take part in or contribute to the civil rights movement"--
