Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Much of the sociological and historical literature with regards to integration of America�s public schools takes for granted first, that all black parents wanted integration, and second, that the reasons for this included desires for assimilation in addition to access to better quality schooling. Similarly, most authors fail to differentiate the interests of the most outspoken groups involved in this struggle, civil rights organizations, with those of community-based groups, such as parents. This project examines the interests of various segments of the black community of New York City during the 1950s, a time often perceived as being one of quiet consensus, using contemporary black newspaper accounts of protests. I seek to determine the interests of black activists with regard to the public schools during this era. Findings suggest a clear difference between the desires of civil rights organizations and community-based parents with the former articulating desires for abstract ideals of integration and the latter far more intent on desires for improved educational welfare. These findings have a number of implications for contemporary theorists and researchers as well as those concerned with educational policy for minority students.
