{"product_id":"book-hkzu","title":"Jim Crow's Pink Slip","description":"In 1954, the Supreme Court's \u003ci\u003eBrown\u003c\/i\u003e decision ended segregated schooling in the United States, but regrettably, as documented in congressional testimony and transcripts, it also ended the careers of a generation of highly qualified and credentialed Black teachers and principals. In the Deep South and northern border states over the decades following \u003ci\u003eBrown\u003c\/i\u003e, Black schools were illegally closed and Black educators were displaced en masse. As educational policy and leadership expert Leslie T. Fenwick deftly demonstrates, the effects of these changes stand contrary to the democratic ideals of an integrated society and equal educational opportunity for all students.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJim Crow's Pink Slip\u003c\/i\u003e provides a trenchant account of how tremendous the loss to the US educational system was and continues to be. The book draws the line from the past injustices to problems that the educational system grapples with today: not simply the underrepresentation of Black teachers and principals, but also salary reductions, teacher shortages, and systemic inequality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy engaging with the complicated legacy of the \u003ci\u003eBrown\u003c\/i\u003e decision, Fenwick illuminates a crucial chapter in education history. She also offers policy prescriptions aimed at correcting the course of US education, supporting educators, and improving workforce quality and diversity.","brand":"Tantor","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49354788864304,"sku":"BDhkzu","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49354788897072,"sku":"ZEhkzu","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49354788962608,"sku":"ZMhkzu","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/hkzu-Square-cover.jpg?v=1780363589","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-hkzu","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
