Meg White, associate professor of Education at Stockton, recently collaborated with colleagues
to , 鈥淲illiam Frantz Public School: A Story of Race, Resistance, Resiliency, and Recovery
in New Orleans,鈥 which highlights the amazing stories of school desegregation in New
Orleans and the impact of Hurricane Katrina on public education.
鈥淲e have recounted public education in New Orleans from the late 1930s to the present via a place-based narrative centered on this school. The book focuses specifically on issues related to race, poverty and the privatization and charter movements,鈥 White said.
White, who has been at Stockton since 2013, said the research for this book began three years ago.
鈥淲hat started out as research for an article, soon became an idea for a book. Many people have written about civil rights, segregation, white flight and New Orleans during pre- and post-Katrina. But what we learned in our research is it鈥檚 hard to isolate these stories,鈥 White remarked. 鈥淭o understand what happened in New Orleans requires one to know the whole story and how it is interconnected. What happened in the 1950s and 1960s had a direct impact on the next 50 years, especially with regard to public education.鈥WHAT'S TRENDING @ #STOCKTONU
