| Abstract | After several years of pressure from black community organizations and their white allies, in December 1968 the Richmond Unified School District school board set in motion plans to integrate all its elementary schools. The plans necessitated some two-way busing. Four months later the proponents of that plan were soundly defeated by the electorate, and the newly elected school board, composed entirely of anti-busing conservatives rescinded the plan in favor of a voluntary open enrollment scheme. Even while acknowledging that America's racial fears and hostilities stood at the center of the controversy, the outcome was puzzling. Specifically, answers were sought to such questions as: What were the weaknesses in the moderate-liberal coalition that facilitated such a complete ouster from power? Where were the critical junctures at which they either acted incorrectly or failed to act at all, thereby contributing to their failure to retain power and to integrate the elementary schools in the district? What were the ambivalences and strains, the structural and ideological sources of their failure? On the other side: what were the strengths that enabled the conservatives to mobilize what formerly had been a relatively apathetic constituency? What accounted for the politics of rage so evident in this struggle? What, in substance, gave the "silent" majority its voice? (Author/JM) |
