In Relentless Pursuit of an Education: African American Stories from a Century of Segregation 1865-1967 (book).  As described on the UCAC website, “In Relentless Pursuit of an Education is local history at its best.  In their own words, residents of St. Mary’s County, Maryland, tell of the separate and unequal black schools that existed until the county finally complied with Brown v. Board of Education in 1967.  This generation displays no nostalgia for segregation, but they do recall how their daily life was marked not only by inequality, but also by determination, caring, even fun. “
