Primarily about courage and the lack of it during a century of sometimes violent disputes over New Orleans schools, climaxing in the desegregation crisis of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Baker, the well-respected author of two biographies of Supreme Court justices and a book on the Miranda decision, illustrates the difficulties in effecting social change in a tradition-encrusted society.
