Description

A newspaper article covers a lecture from Leroy McCloud. The article covers McCloud's experience in the Englewood school system, especially the racial divide. McCloud described his struggle to get equal support for Dwight Morrow which was and still is primarily attended by black students. McCloud believed that the fight to desegregate schools by merging Tenafly and Englewood Cliffs should have been dropped, as it was taking money away from supporting students. McCloud also feared for the future of education.
