Education to Govern
This pamphlet, based on a widely-reproduced 1969
speech by Grace Lee Boggs, explains why education is
so important to every society and why there is such
a profound need to change the purpose and methods of
American education. It also outlines the essential
ingredients of a new system of education and puts
forward a program for learning.
Note: Many of these essays are from Grace's 'Fresh Ideas' column in the Michigan Citizen and will therefore take you to that part of the site. To return to this page, simply use the "back" button on your browser.
