University of Florida Thesis Or Dissertation Formatting THE POWERFUL PULL OF SUNCOAST HIGH SCHOOL: HOW MAGNET SCHOOLS TURNED DESEGREGATION INTO CHOICE, 1969-2000 By AMY CAMILE MARTINELLI A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2015 © 2015 Amy C. Martinelli To my South Bay Momma and Detroit Daddy who never forgot where they came from ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost, this work could not have been completed without the insight and guidance of my adviser, Dr. Sevan Terzian. Throughout this endeavor, he has driven me persistently to produce meaningful research. I have come to this point having had Sevan as my guide for more years than he or I may care to acknowledge. Throughout, he has inspired me to keep going even in moments when all I wanted to do was quit. He had faith in me when I had doubts. I am grateful for the time we spent together and will carry on into the future with the knowledge he has imparted in me. In addition, my committee members have all encouraged me in their own way. Dr. Link’s seminar on Southern History helped me to choose the topic for this dissertation and exposed me to challenging historical concepts. My occasional hallway run-ins with Dr. Elizabeth Bondy kept me aware of my own progress toward completion, or lack thereof. And Dr. Dorene Ross’ personal and academic counsel not only motivated me to continue, but also inspired me to have faith that the work I would produce would matter. Their part in my journey into dissertation writing has been paramount to my ability to produce this work. But scholarship without friendship would truly be nothing at all. Throughout my time as a graduate student I had the great fortune of becoming friends with a wonderful group of peers who became my people. Lauren Tripp Barlis, Emma Humphries, Katie Tricarico, Elyse Hambacher, and Kathryn Comerford were there through evening classes and late night drinks. Each assured me that if they could do this I could do this. These women helped to keep my “eyes on the prize” with encouragement and laughter. These days, finding fellow historians of education can feel like a rare find. I’m eternally grateful to have had the opportunity to work alongside Jess Clawson and 4 Kenneth Noble. As we made our way through graduate school I felt like Jess, Kenneth, and I complemented each other very well—socially and academically. We fostered an environment of collegiality rather than competition and each of them showed me how to be myself in academia. Former graduates of this program have contributed to my scholarship and ability as well. Andrew Gruntzke, Patrick Ryan, and Bob Dahlgren included me in panels, discussions about my work, and even publications and have fostered my growth in this field. The relationships I made in the University of Florida History Department have also pushed me to work harder than I would on my own. Allen Kent, Mike Brandon, and Jessica Lancia welcomed me in a sometimes unwelcoming environment. I am also thankful for the opportunities that I’ve had within the History of Education Society where I have been fortunate enough to forge relationships with students and professors from across the country. Jacob Hardesty and Emily Hodge helped me sustain a professional life outside of the University of Florida. I am also indebted to those people who had no idea what I have been doing all these years but supported me nonetheless. Cori Clements Traynham has been my closest friend who always sees the best in me, who encourages me to work when I needed to work, and allows me to play when I need to play. Eric White, the other half of my heart, has been by my side for so long and is ready to see what life will give me next and what I will give to the world. Terrence Funke lives up to his name and has kept me dancing and singing through the hard days and the great days. Brittany Lee, took me to early morning breakfasts when I needed an early start to my day. I must also acknowledge my speech and debate family for giving me a home where I always felt competent. My fellow coaches Idania Herrera, Carrie Vath, Joy Fetchel, Colin Rawls, 5 and Hannah Strange helped me to become a leader. Working with students helped remind me about how to formulate arguments in a powerful way. Marna Weston always kept it real. Betsy McCann gave me rainbows, sunshine, and love all the way through. There are almost no words for what Kellie Roberts has done for me. She had faith in me as an undergraduate student, allowed me to be a coach, and shown a light on the path to completion. I’ll be forever indebted to her generosity of spirit. Lastly, my partner in life and love, Elliot Tebbe, showed me what it means to love academic work. I can’t wait to see what life has in store for us in Lincoln. 6 TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS .................................................................................................. 4 LIST OF TABLES ............................................................................................................ 9 LIST OF FIGURES ........................................................................................................ 10 ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................... 11 1 INTRODUCTION .................................................................................................... 12 Scholarly Significance ............................................................................................. 13 Research Questions and Methods .......................................................................... 23 2 DELAY AND SUBVERSION: FLORIDA’S HISTORY OF DESEGREGATION FROM BROWN TO UNITARY STATUS ................................................................. 28 A Brick Wall Lasts Longer than a Riot: Florida’s Moderate Approach to Desegregation ..................................................................................................... 32 The Miami Test: Tokenism in “America’s Playground” ............................................ 38 Orchard Villa Elementary School: The Model For Desegregation in Florida, 1958 .............................................................................................................. 42 Throwing Pebbles at a Brick Wall: The Desegregation of Palm Beach County Schools ................................................................................................................ 54 Palm Beach County’s Early Desegregation Battle, 1955-1973 .................. 54 3 THE COSTS OF DESEGREGATION IN ‘THE SECOND MOST DIFFICULT’ REGION IN THE COUNTRY .................................................................................. 69 A Brief History of Race Relations in Palm Beach County ....................................... 69 The Civil Rights Tradition of Riviera Beach ............................................................. 73 1969: Representing Kennedy High ................................................................... 76 “The Second Most Difficult Desegregation Problem in the United States” .................................................................................................... 83 1970-71: The Shuttle Bus Desegregation “Solution” ........................................ 91 4 SUNCOAST FROM UNITARY STATUS TO VOLUNTARY DESEGREGATION .. 109 Riviera Beach Becomes Charger Country, 1973-1978 ......................................... 111 A Decade of Decline, 1978-1989 .......................................................................... 120 Suncoast: “The Closest Thing to an Inner City School in the South,”1984- 1989 ............................................................................................................ 122 Suncoast Gets a “Spiritual Facelift”—Fredeva Nelson, 1984-1987 .......... 125 Discipline and Direction—Terry Andrews, 1987-1989 .............................. 132 The Quest to Save Suncoast, 1987-1989 ............................................................. 135 7 Planning for Change: Making Suncoast a Magnet School of Distinction ....... 142 5 THE MAGNET SCHOOL THAT “WORKED”: THE DOUBLE EDGE OF SUNCOAST’S SUCCESS, 1989-2000 ................................................................. 148 Creating the New Suncoast—A School of Excellence .......................................... 153 1989-1993: Suncoast’s New Class of Student ............................................... 164 Being Black at Suncoast .......................................................................... 168 The Students Who Got Shipped Out ........................................................ 174 The Price of Elitism, 1993-2000 ............................................................................ 178 6 CONCLUSION: THE LASTING IMPACT OF SUNCOAST HIGH SCHOOL’S MAGNET CONVERSION ..................................................................................... 193 Local Problem – National Significance.................................................................. 198 Scholarly Implications ........................................................................................... 207 The Inequality of Choice ....................................................................................... 215 LIST OF REFERENCES ............................................................................................. 219 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH .......................................................................................... 229 8 LIST OF TABLES Table page

I can only imagine what went through their minds when their oldest son told them he was going to study history for a living. Despite this impractical decision, they have been extremely supportive, both emotionally and at times, financially. Aimee Griffith was present in my life for most of my graduate school career. She was frequently the emotional crutch I leaned upon when I studied for my comprehensive exams and when I faced the daunting task of writing the first words of this dissertation. Beth Woodward helped me in the final months of this project, often reading and critiquing the manuscript and offering encouragement.

  • Making a Sunbelt Place: Tampa, Florida, 1923–1964
    MAKING A SUNBELT PLACE: TAMPA, FLORIDA, 1923 – 1964 By ALAN J. BLISS A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2010 1 © 2010 Alan J. Bliss 2 To my wife Lynn, with gratitude for traveling a long highway with me 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Such success as this project may enjoy owes to many teachers at both Santa Fe Community College and the University of Florida. No one has been more influential in my academic life than the remarkable Robert Zieger, now Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of Florida. Since the day in 1998 when I appeared in his office doorway, he has skillfully supervised my undergraduate honors thesis, my master’s paper, and this dissertation. He has made me a historian, and pulled it off with a deft combination of scholarly rigor, expertise, and good humor. I count our professional relationship and our friendship as my good fortune. My thanks also go to Barbara Oberlander of Santa Fe Community College, who aimed me in the direction of a distant goal, and referred me to Robert Zieger. In addition to Bob Zieger as chair, my dissertation committee included Jack Davis, Joseph Spillane, Jeffrey Needell, and Grant Thrall. Their perspectives on my project varied, but their thoughtful criticism throughout the research and writing process encouraged me and improved my work. Contrary to what some outside the academy may believe, to members of the graduate faculty at a research institution such as the University of Florida, every working hour is precious.

  • Civil Rights in the Sunshine State
    THE FIGHT OVER LABOR After generations of slavery, black Floridians, like their counterparts in other southern states, recognized that the basis of wealth was their labor. They joined labor unions, sometimes in coalition with working class whites. They demanded higher wages, went on strikes, quit their jobs, and migrated to new areas for better economic opportunities. African Americans also formed schools to educate themselves and improve their prospects. At the same time, Florida's leaders saw the state's future in agriculture, timber, phosphate mining, turpentine, and tourism. Elite whites, including northern business investors, believed profitability relied on cheap black labor. They also viewed a black presence on Florida's beaches as a threat to the state's burgeoning tourism industry. Laws were passed that prohibited blacks from quitting their jobs or moving to other areas for better employment. Vagrancy and after-dark laws also limited black mobility. Turpentine, phosphate, and railway workers often were paid in company money. This currency, known as scrip, could only be spent at company stores, which charged inflated prices and kept workers in debt to the company. Other methods to control black labor in Florida and other southern states, included limiting access to voting, educational opportunities, and organizing with working whites. These restrictions were achieved through legal and extralegal means, including violence and intimidation. Still, black Floridians continued to struggle and organize for equality. ЛIM CROW In the 1830s, white actor Thomas Dartmouth Rice created a character named Jim Crow, a black clown who danced a jig, spoke in an exaggerated accent, and wore tattered clothing.

Davis. His insight and enthusiasm for revealing the agency of women in Florida’s environmental movement has been priceless and his close, challenging scrutiny of my work has vastly improved it. Dr. Vassiliki “Betty” Smocovitis opened my eyes to the wonders of women and science and patiently guided me through important dissertation topics, and Dr. Paul Ortiz welcomed my recorded interviews into the University of Florida’s Samuel Proctor Oral History Program, where they will be available for future researchers. Many thanks to my committee members, Dr. Louise Newman and Prof. Alyson Flournoy, for their valuable insights about women’s strategies and tactics. Also at UF, Dr. Steven Noll has encouraged me and shared his keen understanding of Florida environmental history, particularly of the Cross-Florida Barge Canal; Florence Turcotte offered wonderful direction at the UF archives; and Dr. Margaret “Peggy” MacDonald willingly shared her research about Marjorie Harris Carr that is incorporated into this document.
