Produktbeschreibung

Ladino explores how power politics at the local, state, and federal levels ultimately prevented the integration of Mansfield High School in 1956. Her research sheds new light on the actions of 'governor Allan Shivers who, in the eyes of the segregationists, actually validated their cause by his political actions and it underscores President Dwight Eisenhower's public passivity toward civil rights during his first term of office.
