Robert L. Green, a friend and colleague of Martin Luther King Jr., served as education director for Kings Southern Christian Leadership Conference during a crucial period in Civil Rights history, and - as a consultant for many of the nations largest school districts - he continues to fight for social justice and educational equity today. This memoir relates previously untold stories about major Civil Rights campaigns that helped put an end to voting rights violations and Jim Crow education; explains how Green has helped urban school districts improve academic achievement levels; and explains why this history should inform our choices as we attempt to reform and improve American education. Greens quest began when he helped the Kennedy Administration resolve a catastrophic education-related impasse and has continued through his service as one of the participants at an Obama administration summit on a current academic crisis. It is commonly said that education is the new Civil Rights battlefield. Greens memoir helps us understand that educational equity has always been a central objective of the Civil Rights movement.
