Black, White and Brown: The Battle for Progress in 1950s Norfolk

In this reissue of his award-winning 1992 doctoral thesis, Forrest R. White shows how Norfolk, Virginia, used redevelopment and city planning in the '50s to not only reshape the aging Southern port city for the twentieth century, but also to resist and delay the public school desegregation ordered by the Supreme Court's 1954 ruling.
