From their inception in the late nineteenth century, the school systems of Gainesville City and Hall County, Georgia provided unequal education for white and African American children. This book recounts the desegregation process in Gainesville. Gains, as well as losses, by African Americans are analyzed through artifacts and interviews with those who were involved. A thorough study of the history of Gainesville and Hall County Schools, particularly E.E. Butler High School, as a microcosm of the effects of African American school closings in the 1960s and 1970s, will lead to a greater understanding of the African American experience in the desegregation of American public schools.
