Education in a White World

Clements speaks to the issue of education and the importance of equitable education for a just society. Her words echo a portion of the rhetoric in Roy Wilkins’ Keynote address to the NAACP Convention of 1966: “Most of all, we choose to secure unsegregated, high quality public education for ourselves and our children...before we can get jobs to earn increased income to buy and rent better homes, before we can contribute to the enrichment of our nation, we must have free access to quality education.” [CRM p. 96]
