Hopes on the Line
by Steve Golin
- 1 Currently reading
"For three weeks in 1970 and for eleven weeks in 1971, the schools in Newark, New Jersey, were paralyzed as the teachers went on strike. As a result of the strikes, almost two hundred were arrested and jailed. The Newark Teachers Union said their members wanted improved education for their students. The Board of Education claimed the teachers primarily desired more money.
After interviewing more than fifty teachers who were on the front lines during these strikes, historian Steve Golin concludes that another, equally important agenda, ignored until now, was on the table. These professionals wanted a voice in the decision-making process."--BOOK JACKET.
