Title: Interim Report of South Carolina School Committee, January 11, 1955 [cover title]
Author: [African Americana]: [Desegregation]: [South Carolina]
Seller: The Joe Fay Company LLC (United States)
Condition: Near fine.
Description: [Columbia, S.C., 1955. Near fine.. 12pp. Original gray wrappers printed in black, stapled. Light wear overall. The second interim report from the South Carolina School Committee, comprised of five Senators, five Representatives, and five laymen, sent to the governor and the General Assembly, apprising them of "our findings and recommendations pending final action of the United States Supreme Court and the development of the situation its decrees will create in the field of public education." The committee is reacting, of course, to the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, which effectively called for the integration of public schools in the United States. The committee's findings are both alarming and unsurprising. In one passage, they state they have "no reason to change its views that the concensus [sic] of public opinion in this State favors better educational opportunity for all children - in separate schools." Their first recommendation reads as follows: "Your Committee will not recommend any course of action or legislative enactment which will force negro children to attend schools established for white children or require white children to attend schools established for negro children. If forced separation is wrong, then it must follow that forced intermingling is also wrong." One passage in the introductory portion of the work mentions the disruption of integration in other communities "on the basis of the May 17th decision" (i.e., Brown v. Board of Education), which is resulting in the decrease of enrollment of white children in public schools and facilitating their move to private schools. This paragraph ends, presciently: "This experience indicates that, wherever integration is attempted, there will result a gradual migration of families who can afford homes elsewhere to neighborhoods where residential segregation by choice will produce educational segregation by necessity." OCLC does not explicitly record this imprint, though there are likely copies of the report in serial runs of interim reports of the School Committee at one, two, or three institutions in South Carolina.

Taichi Yamada was a Japanese author known for his works in contemporary literature. Born in Tokyo in 1934, Yamada gained recognition for his unique storytelling style, often blending elements of supernatural and psychological themes with everyday life. His notable works include "Strangers," which was adapted into a film, and "In Search of a Distant Voice." Yamada's writing often explores themes of loneliness, memory, and the intersection between the past and present. ABOUT THIS BOOK: Kazama Tsuneo is an immigration officer in Tokyo, struggling to live a 'normal' life after an event that happened eight years previously. His problems worsen following the emergence of a strange voice - a woman who is trying to contact him. Tsuneo desperately chases this woman, and the mystery behind what happened eight years earlier.(Publisher).
