Atkinson, Norman – Comparative Education, 1982
During a time of great unrest, formerly White schools have undertaken, with considerable success, one of the most critical educational innovations attempted in the African continent. Success appears, ironically, to be due to the same strong structure which for nearly 50 years made the schools effective instruments of White supremacy. (BRR)

Dunston, Aingred Ghislayne – 1989
Scholars know the history of oppression. They know that struggles against oppression do not evolve in a vacuum.

Olson, Paul – 1993
The limited coverage of blacks in "The Virginia Gazette" during integration marked a symbolic step toward greater, or equal inclusion of black society in the newspaper but proved far from fulfilling the newspaper's role as a community newspaper. Personal interaction between blacks and whites in Williamsburg (Virginia) did not occur very…
