Synopsis

Looks into conflicts in the movement for community control of New York City schools in the 1960s, concentrating on events in Ocean Hill- Brownsville, East Harlem, and the Two Bridges districts. Shows that the movement and its opposition was multi-layered, each side containing black, white, and Jewish elements, some liberal, some radical, some prepared to invoke militant rhetoric, others relying on more mainstream arguments.
