My sister, Emilye, spent the academic year in Atlanta (instead of Rochester, NY). One of the happy consequences was that we got to see her more than we usually do. We also got to see early drafts of one of this year’s projects, an article on school desegregation for the Oral History Review.
My Mom and I gave her our impressions of the early drafts, and helped her track down some information. Now, I have the published version. It is titled “White Privilege, Black Burden: Lost Opportunities and Deceptive Narratives in School Desegregation in Claiborne County, Mississippi”.
Emilye, who teaches history at Geneseo College, said I can distribute it to people who are interested. Please send me an email if you want a .pdf copy.
Emilye and Patty Crosby, Sarah C. Campbell.
Sarah I am so glad you are helping get Emilye’s article to people who might want to read it.
Good job Emily!
Some of my favorite memories are with you guys. Thanks for starting the Alcorn Group on Facebook and so many other things.
I see you have a beautiful family and they are growing up confident and worldly…good job!
Thanks, Gwen. I can’t take credit for the Alcorn group, though. I think that was Pearl Smith Parker’s brainchild. I wholeheartedly agree. We had good times on campus, and on Bus 6.
I’d love to read Emilye’s article. Pleaase send me the pdf.
