About this title

Synopsis

This is a detailed account of a year in the life of a town in New Jersey during which a small number of black children from the ghetto were transported to the white suburb for their schooling. Landsberger, an active citizen of Verona and scholar of its history, tells what worked, what didn't work, and why the program fell apart after one year. Annotation c.
