Show moreThe purpose of this study was to examine case studies linked to three important historical time periods in the Pensacola, Florida educational community. These historical moments included the (a) Augustus v. School Board of Escambia County, Florida landmark legal case regarding desegregation in Escambia County educational institutions; (b) transformation of Brown Barge Elementary School to Brown Barge Magnet School; and (c) closing of A.

I compared and contrasted their responses with information I retrieved about the three events from newspaper articles and meeting minutes. The stories revealed participantsÂ’ struggles with sacrificing their historical African American community schools as they supported school integration.
