A VISIBLE COMPANY OF PROFESSIONALS - CAROL F KA...

African American educators shaped a role for themselves in the larger civil rights movement by
striving for inclusion  on equal footing  in the National Education Association (NEA). This
book explores the relationship between the NEA  the nation's largest teacher organization  and
the predominately black American Teachers Association  and illustrates how African American
educators helped to redefine the NEA's core ideology to include the support of policies 
practice  and politics that promoted educational equity for children and educators who have
been historically marginalized. Examining heated debates in African American communities and in
the NEA  and the immediate and long-term effects of inclusion on educators and public school
children  this book reveals teacher associations as something more than labor unions and
educators as activists for educational equity  while it documents the perils  disappointments 
and advantages of professional cohesion. The book's documentation of leadership in particularly
challenging settings fills a void in literature for teacher preparation and educational
leadership programs.
