Desegregation of the New York City Schools: A Story of the Silk
Stocking Sisters explores the use of young black and brown children
to eliminate segregation in an urban public school to meet the
challenges of equal education opportunity in the North during the
mid-twentieth century. Author Theresa J. Canada, herself part of
the experiment, tells the story of the desegregation of PS 6-an
elite New York City public school-through the narratives of seven
of the girls who desegregated the school. While all of the names
within each narrative have been changed, the book follows the
author as well as the stories of her elementary school classmates.
Desegregation of the New York City Schools provides a chapter
explaining the history of PS 6 and this time period. There are
chapters that describe the contrast between Northern and Southern
school desegregation and the psychological and emotional impact
these events have had throughout the lives of the girls in the
narratives. The book concludes by discussing the sociopolitical
issue of economic inequality and education. In a society where
women still earn less than men, obtaining an education and earning
a living is important for women and women of color in particular.
Finally, this book addresses the dilemma of the re-segregation of
public schools. Desegregation of the New York City Schools is
suitable for courses in education policy, education law, and
women's and gender studies.
