School Days

Beschreibung

Schools Days depict the difference in the treatment of white and black students in Alabama during my youth. The sub-standard education and lack of care for the nutrition and educational provision of black students was a way of life during segregation.

Autor

Dr. Joice Christine Bailey Lewis grew up on a sharecropping farm in Alabama where black people were considered inferior to white people. She was subjected to sub-standard education and was denied attendance at the local library and Public University, not withstanding that she had the second highest IQ in the city among black and white students. Dr. Lewis spent 27 years struggling to obtain a doctoral degree while working full time and rearing three children. Dr. Lewis achieved the highest level of employment as Superintendent of Schools and retired at age seventy-four. Now at age eighty-five, she is focusing on writing books for children, whom she loves. Dr. Lewis has three children, nine grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
