Students who were both deaf and African American during this time faced even more significant challenges. Provides an overview of the integration that took place during this decade at the Kendall School, which is now a day school affiliated with Gallaudet University, as well as a background of the students and adults involved.

What a thorough treatment of the history of Kendall School and the education of African American Deaf students in our nation's capital.
