A new history of school desegregation in America, revealing how
girls and women led the fight for interracial education The
struggle to desegregate America's schools was a grassroots
movement, and young women were its vanguard. In the late 1940s,
parents began to file desegregation lawsuits with their daughters,
forcing Thurgood Marshall and other civil rights lawyers to take up
the issue and bring it to the Supreme Court. After the Brown v.
Board of Education ruling, girls far outnumbered boys in
volunteering to desegregate formerly all-white schools. In A Girl
Stands at the Door, historian Rachel Devlin tells the remarkable
stories of these desegregation pioneers. She also explains why
black girls were seen, and saw themselves, as responsible for the
difficult work of reaching across the color line in public schools.
Highlighting the extraordinary bravery of young black women, this
bold revisionist account illuminates today's ongoing struggles for
equality
