Více o knize

Set against the backdrop of segregated Statesboro, Georgia, the narrative explores the intertwined experiences of white and black students amid the turbulent desegregation era. While the First District A&M School evolved into a regional university, the Statesboro Industrial and High School faced downgrading. The book highlights the often-overlooked challenges faced by black students at Georgia Southern University, who, despite initial marginalization, organized for change, drawing inspiration from the Civil Rights Movement to fight for equality and representation on campus.
