Desegregating Texas Schools: Eisenhower, Shivers, and the Crisis at Mansfield High

Robyn Duff Ladino’s book examines the failed 1956 attempt to integrate Mansfield High School in Texas, showing how political resistance at the local, state, and federal levels blocked progress. Despite the setback, the crisis helped paved the way for later civil rights victories like the integration of Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas.
