{"product_id":"9780692275894","title":"Stories From The Front Lines Of Integration: Toledo, Ohio 1965-1975 And Milwaukee, Wisconsin 1975-1987","description":"Lee McMurrin was superintendent of schools in Toledo, Ohio and Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the era of court-ordered integration. McMurrin's innovative and collaborative approach to achieving integration helped to avoid the confrontation and violence experienced by many other urban areas that were under court order to integrate. McMurrin's plan gave parents choices about the school their children would attend, including magnet and specialty schools offering education in fields including solar technology and computers - options that were forward-thinking for their time. McMurrin recounts the challenges of achieving integration, including the presence of Nazis at public meetings and white teachers who refused to teach black children. He also describes the successes that resulted from community collaboration and meeting the court-ordered integration goals. Stories From the Front Lines of Integration is a engaging and personal account from the perspective of a professional educator who was determined to provide a quality education and opportunities to every student.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eLee R Mcmurrin|Louise K Hawker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eLee R.
