This commemorative book chronicles a historical, biographical, and
pictorial account of black high-school students' educational experiences
as they strove to earn their diplomas in the Montgomery County,
Maryland, dual public school system prior to September 1960. For the
reader, it will be an enlightenment as to how it was in Montgomery
County (and briefly, in four other Maryland counties - Anne Arundel, Calvert, Howard, and Prince George's).
In relating the story of educating African-American students, references
are also made to the education of their white counterparts. The cover
contains a photo of the first graduating class (1931) of then-Rockville
Colored High School, as well as other selected photos.
