5.0 out of 5 stars
Moving and well written account of a forgotten part of American history,
By angelsky7 (Brooklyn, Ny) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dream Not of Other Worlds: Teaching in a Segregated Elementary School,1970 (Sightline Books) (Hardcover)
Ms. Diehl writes a blatantly honest account of what it was like to teach in a segregated Virginia school in 1970 sixteen years after Brown vs. Board of Ed. took place to ensure that nonsense like this wouldn't happen. It was both a challenge for her and a blessing and truly any one who reads this account will never walk away feeling the same towards older African Americans who seem "less educated." Read along with books such as Jonathan Kozol's "Savage Inequalities" would greatly help one appreciate Mrs. Diehls account a lot more. Tremendous reflective effort on the lives of poor children, some of whom she reunites with over thirty years later. Would highly recommend it.
