The articles in this pamphlet have been selected from the weekly
columns that Grace Lee Boggs writes for the Fresh Ideas page of
the Michigan Citizen.
Grace has been exploring solutions to the deepening schools
crisis ever since the 1960s when she taught in the Detroit Public
Schools and was active in the Black Power and Community
Control of Schools movement.
Her 1969 speech, "Education: The Great Obsession," has been
widely reprinted; for example, in the 1974 Harvard Educational
Review monograph edited by the Institute of the Black World,
and in Education to Govern, a National Organization for an
American Revolution pamphlet which went through three
printings.
In 1992, together with her late husband, James Boggs, Shea
Howell and others, she co-founded Detroit Summer, an
intergenerational, multicultural youth program/movement to
rebuild, redefine and respirit Detroit from the ground up.
Beginning as a three week project, this program is now year-
round.
Her autobiography, Living for Change (University of Minnesota
Press, 1998) is used in university classes in Detroit history and
in African American and Asian American Studies.
