A century of class: Public education in Dallas, 1884-1984

Description

Step through a century of Dallas history, one schoolhouse at a time. From the first public grammar schools in 1884 to the desegregation battles of the 1970s, Rose-Mary Rumbley traces the transformation of the city through the institutions that shaped its children. This is not just a history of education; it is a history of Dallas — its neighborhood shifts, racial conflicts, and urban renewal projects, all told through the lens of the public school system.\n\nWhether you are a local historian, a Dallas native, or a student of American educational policy, this comprehensive study offers a rare, deep dive into a century of change. Discover how the city grew, how its boundaries were redrawn, and how the story of Dallas education mirrors the broader American experience. Available in EPUB format for your digital library.
