Campbell, Ernest Q.

Subjects
RACE relations, INTERGROUP relations, SOCIAL systems, AFRICAN American teachers, SCHOOL integration, NEGOTIATION, SOCIOLOGY
Abstract

The article presents information on the 1965 issue of the journal "Sociological Inquiry." The 1954 and 1955 Supreme Court decisions on desegregation are the force that set in motion vast changes that are restructuring the very nature of race relations in the United States. This volume contain recent developments relating to race relations in the United States. Its nine essays touch on several of the major areas in which change occurs or in which old blemishes remain. The paper by Robin Williams, with which this issue begins attempts an overview of what has happened in the last two decades. Most of the papers in this set are themselves reports of research appropriate to Williams' contention that intergroup relations are part of the basic dynamics of modem social systems. Richard Lamanna's doctoral dissertation is concerned in part with the response of the Negro public school teacher to desegregation. Lewis Killian turns his attention to the negotiations between representatives of the white and Negro communities.

Abstract

Dorothy S. Brown is a grade-school teacher who wants to get a job in the public schools in Elmont township, Nassau County, Long Island, New York. Although her skin is as white as John Rankin's, her hair a curly auburn, her eyes blue, her nose narrow, Brown is a Negro. She is convinced she has been turned down by the owner of the school for that reason despite her qualifications. No Negro teacher can get a job in Nassau County public schools. Several days later she was asked by the principal of the Elmont Road School to come in to see him. He seemed delighted with her record and told her of the two openings in his school, but asked her to teach Negro children only.
