In this article, the author shares his experience of schooling in McClellanville, South Carolina. Charleston County School District, which includes McClellanville and the outlying area, used to have one set of standards for schools with black populations and another for those in the white suburbs. By the mid 1980s, a second force for change had emerged in McClellanville, in the shape of a small, racially mixed group of parents, including a carpenter, a single mother, a historian, a secretary and a student of library science. They had begun meeting to discuss ways to improve the public schools.
