The Educational Lockout of African Americans in Prince Edward
County, Virginia (1959-1964): Personal Accounts and Reflections
provides ground-breaking research on the historical events
surrounding the Prince Edward County's school closings. For five
years (1959-1964), the families of 1,700 African American students
were forced to cope with the absence of public schooling in the
county. Their efforts led to the case Davis v. the County School
Board of Prince Edward County, which was one of the cases that were
consolidated with Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas.
The book offers the reader two exciting sections. In the first
section, the contributing authors provide interesting findings on
Grassroots schools, the Kennedy administration, and an African
American movement during the Prince Edward County school closings.

reflections and a lecture from four professors whose parents were
affected by the Prince Edward County lockout. Three of the four
professors were graduates of the Prince Edward County school
system.

incidences of in-school, race-on-race violence. The contributors
draw from critical pedagogy, multicultural education, and the
Afrocentric canon to critique the American educational system.
Educating African American Students examines historical issues that
are significant for understanding the current state of affairs for
African American education; addresses problems and issues in social
studies education, mathematics education, and the
overrepresentation of African American males in special education;
and poignantly illuminates the necessity for renewed activism by
telling the stories of African American children and their

Farrakhan and Education explores the educational ideas of Louis
Farrakhan and demonstrates how these ideas could transform
education. The book highlights human development and education -
both focused on ongoing transitions through which individuals can
attain the highest degree of personal achievement. This achievement
is more than academic. As Farrakhan and Education shows, Louis
Farrakhan believes such achievement must also be spiritual. Indeed,
the text and referenced materials support the view that education
plays a critical role in human development. Beginning with an
overview of the educational experiences of Louis Farrakhan, the
book moves through educational philosophy, theoretical constructs
in human development, and critical educational theory. It also
situates the study of Islam in the context of human development and
multicultural education. Moreover, it has a chapter devoted to
critique of who defines achievement and explores critical
educational theory through the canons of Afrocentric education,
multicultural education, and critical pedagogy. Farrakhan and
Education is different from other texts on education. It recognizes
and thoroughly discusses a leader whose work has long gone
unrecognized for the major contribution to the study of education.
