A More Perfect Union Al-Tony Gilmore

"There can be no discussion of desegregation or public education progress in South Carolina that does not include the merger of the SCEA and the PEA." A More Perfect Union is the first comprehensive history of the historic merger of the Palmetto Education Association and the South Carolina Education Association in 1967, and chronicles the odyssey of how white and black educators came together in the Civil Rights era to raise the quality of public education in South Carolina for all children - regardless of zip code.
