It reads \"\u003ci\u003eThis gymnasium is dedicated to the White children of Nacogdoches.\"\u003c\/i\u003e In those days, Nacogdoches was unapologetically segregated. It was a matter of not only custom but also of law.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In respect to segregation, Nacogdoches was little different than other communities in the Jim Crow South. Its location in Texas, however, helped to obscure this fact. While the US Supreme Court ended segregation in public schools on May 17, 1954, Nacogdoches schools were not forced to integrate until 1970.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book is comprised of essays that paint a portrait of Nacogdoches both before and after integration. Readers will find a collection of essays written by scholars but also by people who have firsthand experience in conflicts that arose in Nacogdoches after 1970. The essays focus upon both the objective, measurable dimensions of race in Nacogdoches, but also upon the actual lived experiences of African Americans in rural East Texas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMICHELLE WILLIAMS is an associate professor at SFASU in the Department of Elementary Education and coordinates the Middle Level Grades Online Completer Program.
