Summary Annotation This study of a school choice plan in St. Louis, Missouri -- which allowed black students to attend suburban schools -- reveals the ugliness and beauty of American race relations. It describes the resistance of suburban white educators, the fears that kept many black parents from taking advantage of school choice, and the courage of black students who crossed the color line, helped by those white educators who saw choice as an opportunity to improve education and create real integration.
