In this book, eleven recent college graduates describe in vivid
detail their journeys from racially segregated, underfunded public
schools to a state university, and the obstacles they encountered
along the way. Chapters highlight personal accounts of poverty,
violence, and bullying in childhood, the persistence of racism on
the university campus and the inability of faculty and
administrators to combat it. Overcoming all-too-common barriers,
these eleven students persevered, earned their degrees and
continued on to graduate school and professional careers. The
authors conclude the book with policy proposals that not only
address the issues raised by the students, but that would also
restore public education to its original role as an engine of
opportunity and driver of democracy.
