Editorial Review:

Product Description:
'...a major contribution to the historiography of the recent South' - John Dittmer. '...an important contribution to the archives of integration and nondiscrimination' - "Publishers Weekly". In this pioneering study of the white southern liberalism, Linda Reed restores the Southern Conference for Human Welfare and the Southern Conference Educational Fund to a prominent place in American and southern history. During four decades the SCHW and SCEF, often in cooperation with the NAACP and other black organizations, sought to solve the major problems of the southern U.S. The SCEF became especially active in school integration during the 1950s and 1960s.
