Produktinformationen zu „Making a Way / Inspiring Voices (ePub)“
Making a Way traces the life of Ulysses Byas from childhood through his tenure as the first black superintendent of the Macon County (Alabama) Schools, as told to coauthor Marilyn Robinson. This biography relies on extensive interviews that Dr. Robinson conducted with Dr. Byas, as well as an examination of his collection of documents.Dr. Byas unique experiences and skills informed the strategies he used to attack the fiscal deficit, the physical plant deterioration, and the educational performance deficiencies he found as superintendent of the Macon County Schools. His professional life was dedicated to using creative approaches to addressing problems brought about by segregation and the policies of separate but equal schooling. Ultimately, Dr. Byas faced a dilemma over whether or not to confront Gov. George Wallaces political machine and its discriminatory policies governing the licensure of the Alabama Educational Television network. Only time would tell whether his testimony would have dire results for him and the school system, or whether it could successfully overcome the racist programming endemic in the South.In Making a Way, Dr. Robinson considers the impact of Dr. Byass decision as she examines the inspiring story of a courageous and creative leader.
