Description: Jim Crow's Pink Slip exposes the decades-long repercussions of a too-little-known result of resistance to the Brown v. Board of Education decision: the systematic dismissal of Black educators from public schools.
Review Quotes: "Fenwick unstintingly documents the incalculable loss to our public education system--and by extension, to our country--through the deliberate purging of Black educators from the ranks of our teachers and principals post-Brown. Jim Crow's Pink Slip illuminates the systematic elimination of Black educators in a country unwilling to acknowledge their intellectual excellence and passion for the education of all children. A must-read for anyone who cares about our country and its public education system." --Lynn M. Gangone, president and chief executive officer, American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education
