Lines Were Drawn looks at a group of Mississippi teenagers whose
entire high school experience, beginning in 1969, was under federal
court-ordered racial integration. Through oral histories and other
research, this group memoir considers how the students, despite
their markedly different backgrounds, shared a common experience
that greatly influences their present interactions and views of the
world--sometimes in surprising ways. The book is also an
exploration of memory and the ways in which the same event can be
remembered in very different ways by the participants. The editors
(proud members of Murrah High School's Class of 1973) and more than
fifty students and teachers address the reality of forced
desegregation in the Deep South from a unique perspective--that of
the faculty and students who experienced it and made it work,
however briefly. The book tries to capture the few years in which
enough people were so willing to do something about racial division
that they sacrificed immediate expectations to give integration a
true chance. This period recognizes a rare moment when the
political will almost caught up with the determination of the
federal courts to finally do something about race. Because of that
collision of circumstances, southerners of both races assembled in
the public schools and made integration work by coming together,
and this book seeks to capture those experiences for subsequent
generations.
