"Since Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 Americans have viewed school integration as a central tenet of the black civil rights movement. Yet, school integration was not the only-or even always the dominant-civil rights strategy.

An African American Dilemma offers a social history of debates over school integration within northern Black communities from the 1840s to the present.
