A Media Specialist in the Jim Crow South
This chapter discusses the experience of a media specialist who was hired at a Black High School in the Jim Crow South. The speaker highlights the culture shock of living in a segregated white supremacist society and contrasts it with her more progressive upbringing in Durham. She also mentions her efforts to desegregate schools in the 1960s and her frustration with the lack of push from the black community during that time.
