During July of 1970, Emory University and the Southern Newspaper Publishers Association Foundation sponsored a seminar on school desegregation for Southern journalists. The intent was to give journalists the opportunity to increase their knowledge and understanding of the complex events they write about. Toward this end, journalists were brought together with educators and practitioners in areas of their common concern. The proceedings of this seminar were put together in book form. The essays included cover subjects ranging from the Nixon administration to desegregation in Atlanta, Georgia. The selections do reflect, however, the division of interest in the conference, which were: (1) the courts and the law; (2) politics and the federal administration; (3) educational research in desegregation; and, (4) implementation of desegregation.
