Willie Appendix: Assessment of the Status of African-Americans Project Study Group Members and Contributors 195 6 iv Preface In the spring of 1987 the William MonroeTrotter Institute for the Study of Black Culture at the University of Massachusetts atBoston initiated a national pro- ject, "The Assessment of the Status ofAfrican-Americans." The project included study groups on six topics: (1) employment,income and occupations, (2) political par- ticipation and administration of justice, (3) socialand cultural change and continuity, (4) health status and medical care, (5) family,and (6) education. The study group on education included the following persons: RobertDentler of the University of Massa- chusetts at Boston; Robert C. Johnson of St. CloudState University; Meyer Weinberg of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst;and Charles V. Willie of Harvard and Antoine Garibaldi of Xavier University inLouisiana, who served as chair and vice- chair, respectively. The project was developed to reflect upon the statusof African-Americans since 1940 in each of the topical areas in anticipationof the results and analyses of the Na- tional Research Council's Study Committee onthe Status of Black Americans. The Trotter Institute and the more than 60 scholarswho agreed to participate in the as- sessment project recognized that the NRCstudy would not only have significant im- plications for African-Americans but also wouldimpact directly on public policy. Thus, it was imperative that groups be formedprior to the release of the NRC study so that study grouprecommendations could stand on their own merits. The education study group met in late May of 1987and drafted an agenda of sig- nificant educational issues. The issues ranged fromearly childhood education pro- grams through postsecondaryeducation public policy issues. The study group mem- bers chose topics within their areas of expertiseand identified other notable research- ers from across the countrywho have written extensively on these issues. Asthe list of contributors shows, the authors come from urban,historically black, predominant- ly white, as well as Ivy League institutions fromthe Northwest, the South, and the East Coast. They included white as well as blackscholars representing a wide range of academic and experiential expertise in educationalresearch. In the solicitation for papers on the various issues,writers were asked to ad- dress three specific questions in their selections: What do we know about this major issue? What else do we need to know about this issue? What should be done about this issue? The authors were asked to pay particular attention notonly to trends in the educa- tional progression of African-Americans butalso to analyze laws and policies that have had significant impacts on the educationalpreparation of African-Americans since 1940. Even more, they were requested tospeculate on anticipated and unfore- seen conditions that will affect the educational pursuits ofAfrican-Americans. Through these informal practices of forecasting,policy recommendations for federal, state, and local education agenciesas wellas private foundationscould be offered. Despite the pressures of limited time and thelimited financial support for this work, these scholars responded toour call and made significant contributions to this volume. Because of their generosity andcommitment to the educationalprogress of black Americans, it may not benecessary to repeat the last five decades of education- al improvements with such slow andnondeliberate speed. In addition to studygroup members and other contributors, we are indebted toa number of individuals for the production ofthis study. We owe thanks to Phillip Hal- len and the Maurice Falk Foundation forunderwriting the costs of producing this vol- ume.

  • Evaluation of the Boston Controlled Choice Student Assignment Plan: a Reanalysis and Interpretation of the Bain and Company Study
    Evaluation of the Boston Controlled Choice Student Assignment Plan: A Reanalysis and Interpretation of the Bain and Company Study by Charles V. Willie Professor of Education and Urban Studies Graduate School of Education Harvard University • 1996 ! The Boston school desegregation experience has been writ large in books, articles and newspapers of this nation. J. Anthony Lukas chronicled the trials and tribulations of desegregation in a best­ selling book entitled Common Ground (1985) . David Halberstan called it a bittersweet book on the end of an American dream. Robert Dentler and Marvin Scott, court experts who prepared an inside account of the Boston Desegregation case called Schools on Trial (1981), said "Boston's notorious school desegregation conflict was regarded as the type that no one in his right mind would want to take place in his city. 'Don't let this become another Boston' was the slogan that spread from New York City to Los Angeles" (Denter and Scott 1981:x). Actually, the Boston school desegregation plan ordered by the U.S. District Court in 1975 had some "educationally beneficial and even novel" components, according to education planners, Dentler and Scott; they also state that the implementation of the plan was 11 overwhelmingly peaceful and successful 11 but that few heard of these aspects of the plan because "no one was listening" (Dentler and Scott 1981:x). After thirteen years of court-ordered and court -monitored school desegregation, the U.S. District Court gave Boston the privilege of developing a new student assignment plan. However, the Court explicitly stated that the new plan would not be acceptable if it resegregated the Boston Public Schools.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Why Busing Failed: Race, Media, and the National Resistance to School Desegregation (University of California Press, Forthcoming February 2016)
    Matthew F. Delmont Why Busing Failed: Race, Media, and the National Resistance to School Desegregation (University of California Press, forthcoming February 2016) Introduction “Busing has been a failure in Boston,” the Boston Globe informed readers in 1994, on the twentieth anniversary of the start of court-ordered desegregation in the city. “It achieved neither integration nor better schooling.”1 Speaking to a group of Chicago educators in 1981, assistant United States attorney general for civil rights William Bradford Reynolds offered a similar assessment: “Forced busing has, in the final analysis, largely failed in two major respects. It has failed to gain needed public acceptance and it has failed to translate into enhanced educational achievement.”2 Reynolds, who played a central role in articulating and carrying out the Reagan administration’s civil rights policies, found company from across the political spectrum in describing “busing” for school desegregation as a misguided policy. Running unsuccessfully for President in 1976, Ronald Reagan told voters that “school busing has failed miserably. It has created bitterness, not eliminated it.”3 A year earlier, Democratic Senator Joe Biden described “busing” as a “bankrupt concept” that violated “the cardinal rule of common sense” and introduced two successful “antibusing” amendments in the Senate.4 Biden’s perceptive on “busing” unintentionally echoed that of the 1972 National Black Political Convention resolution that characterized “busing” as “a bankrupt, suicidal method of desegregating
