'The Increase in Federal Funds Earmarked for State Capacity Will
Be the True Test of Whether the Federal Government Is Providing
Adequate Resources for Education in Fiscal Year 2006'

ALEXANDRIA , Va.
"The success of any education reform, and especially the No Child Left
Behind Act, depends heavily on the ability of states to provide support and
technical assistance to low-performing districts and schools. It
created a 'safe haven' for the storytellers, while bringing history alive for
current and future generations. Board of Education were commemorated
last year, we were sadly aware that civil rights are still among the
unfinished business of this country."
"We are delighted to receive this contribution of firsthand accounts of
the struggle for civil rights during the 20th century, not only because it
will complement the Library's extensive collections of civil rights materials
but also because it will add to our ever-growing collection of oral histories,
which provide unique insights into different facets of American society," said
Librarian of Congress Dr .org.org)
