Drawing on nearly two decades of interviews with students, educators and alumni of West Charlotte High School, Dr. Pam Grundy uses the history of a beloved school to tell a broader American story of education, community, race and democracy−all while raising questions about present-day strategies for school reform−in Color and Character: West Charlotte High and the American Struggle Over Educational Equality.
On September 10, from 2 to 3:30 p.m., the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library’s Beatties Ford Road Regional location (2412 Beatties Ford Road, Charlotte, NC) will host a book discussion of Color and Character. Following the discussion, attendees can enjoy a book release reception with author Dr. Pam Grundy. The event is open to all ages. Details about this event can be found at https://www.cmlibrary.org/event/44817-history-west-charlotte-book-release-reception
This event is part of the Robinson-Spangler Carolina Room’s series “We Bring History to You.” Dr. Grundy lives in Charlotte, where she pursues a variety of writing, teaching and museum projects. Her previous books include the award-winning, Learning to Win: Sports, Education and Social Change in Twentieth-Century North Carolina.
