Review Quotes: "Deirdre Mayer Dougherty offers a theoretically innovative, historically sound, and interdisciplinarily rich interrogation of the history of school desegregation in one of the most lauded Black suburbs of the twentieth century. Centering the agency and activism of Black citizens and critical notions of schools and communities as sites of belonging, this account delineates how leaders and residents confronted educational policy and opportunity."--Michelle A. Purdy "author of Transforming the Elite: Black Students and the Desegregation of Private Schools"
