A Question of Justice: New South Governors and Education, 1968–1976
This book discusses the role of the “New South” governors in transforming the face of education in the southern United States during the period 1968–1976. Gordon E. Harvey highlights figures such as Albert Brewer, Reubin Askew, John West, and Jimmy Carter, who emerged as moderate leaders with a vision for social reform. They sought to leave behind the political legacy of segregation and make education a primary means of achieving social justice, racial integration, and economic mobility. Through an analysis of policies, speeches, and political actions, Harvey shows how commitment to education not only reflected administrative agendas but also served as a strategy to build a more modern, democratic, and change-oriented image of the “New South.” The book emphasizes that education became a crucial arena in the struggle for justice in the South, while also demonstrating the close relationship between state politics, law, and public policy during a transitional period in American history.
