Produktbeschreibung

In Strength Through Diversity, Barry M. Goldenberg traces the inspiring, uncharted history of Harlem Prep, a unique multicultural institution that became an educational phenomenon in the iconic Black neighborhood of Harlem and nationwide. From 1967 to 1974, Harlem Prep sent to college many hundreds of students who had previously been labeled as “dropouts,” demonstrating how a multicultural educational program centered on diversity can provide a blueprint for schools today.
