"This book chronicles school desegregation in Rochester, NY. It examines in detail the Civil Rights era fight to desegregate Rochester schools and reviews the various attempts in the last fifty years at metropolitan-level solutions to Rochester's educational ills. Ultimately it brings the historical narrative to the present day, illustrating the flaws inherent in the school reform model that has dominated national education policy for nearly forty years."--Provided by publisher.
