Realize you need one -- Design it -- Build it -- Your first day -- Assume everyone is an intellectual -- Require mastery -- Overcome obstacles, together -- Open your door to the community."A School of Our Own tells the remarkable story of the Independent Project, the first student-run high school in America. Founder Samuel Levin, a high school junior who had already achieved international fame for creating Project Sprout-the first farm-to-school lunch program in the United States-was frustrated with his own education and saw disaffection among his peers. In response, he lobbied for and created a new school based on a few simple ideas about what kids need from their high school experience.The school succeeded beyond anyone's wildest expectations and went on to be featured in Newsweek, NPR, and the Washington Post. Since its beginnings in 2010, the Independent Project serves as a national model for inspiring student engagement. In creating his school, Samuel collaborated with Susan Engel, the noted developmental psychologist, educator, and author-and Samuel's mother. A School of Our Own is their account of their life-changing year in education, a book that combines poignant stories, educational theory, and practical how-to advice for building new, more engaging educational environments for our children"--

The assignment / by Wiemer, Liza,author.;

Their teacher cannot seriously expect anyone to complete an assignment that fuels intolerance and discrimination. Logan and Cade decide they must take a stand.

Howard Zinn's Southern diary : sit-ins, civil rights, and black women's student activism / by Zinn, Howard,1922-2010,author.(CARDINAL)142084; Cohen, Robert,1955 May 21-editor,writer of added commentary.(CARDINAL)315543; Walker, Alice,1944-writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)146152;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 237-261) and index.In the 1960s, students of Spelman College, a black liberal arts college for women, helped organize historic civil rights protests occurring across Atlanta, leading to the arrest of some for participating in sit-ins in the local community. A young Howard Zinn (future author of the worldwide best seller A People's History of the United States) was a professor of history at Spelman during this era and served as an adviser to the Atlanta sit-in movement and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). Zinn mentored many of Spelman's students active in the black freedom movement at the time, including Alice Walker, Marian Wright Edelman, and Roslyn Pope. As a key facilitator of the Spelman student movement, Zinn supported students who challenged and criticized the campus's paternalistic social restrictions, even when this led to conflicts with the Spelman administration. Zinn's involvement with the Atlanta student movement and his closeness to Spelman's leading student and faculty activists gave him an insider's view of that movement and of the political and intellectual world of Spelman, Atlanta University, and SNCC. Robert Cohen presents a thorough historical overview as well as an entr©♭e to the diary Zinn kept during this tumultuous time. One of the most extensive records of the political climate on a historically black college in 1960s America, Zinn's diary is a fascinating historical document of the free speech, academic freedom, and student rights battles that rocked Spelman and led to Zinn's dismissal from the college in 1963 for supporting the student movement--Back cover.

Theodore D. Segal examines the role that race played in how Duke faculty, administrators and trustees perceived and responded to the school's new black students and the black students' attempts to find their place at Duke. It takes the reader "inside" the evolving relationship between the black students and the university, telling the story in the words of the participants. The book explores the racial myths and justifications embraced by many at Duke who found change in race relations abhorrent, impolitic, inconvenient, or just uncomfortable"--
