Save Our Neighborhood Schools (SONS)

Description

Save Our Neighborhood Schools (SONS) was an organization that opposed racial desegregation efforts in Englewood. According to the organization's leader, George Hatab, SONS believed that it was not the duty of the Englewood Board of Education to promote desegregation of schools which the organization claimed was due to housing patterns and not racial discrimination. The organization stated that the board should focus on administering education not engineering social change.
