Title I: Better Schooling for Educationally Deprived Students Background Title I, "Better Schooling for Educationally Deprived Students," was created to improve the quality of education for our nation's poor children. The program, an integral part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, is the largest federal compensatory education program in American history. Since its inception, it has been the cornerstone of federal support to public education. Established in 1965 at the height of the Civil Rights Movement, Title I became the largest educational component of President Johnson's "War on Poverty". It was designed "in recognition of the special educational needs of children of low-income families and the impact that concentrations of low-income families have on the ability of local educational agencies to support adequate educational programs" (Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, Section 101). The creation of the program was an acknowledgement that education was a key part of the larger struggle to attain social, political and economic equality.

Extractions: Documentary Chronicles Racism, Civil Rights Gains UC Focus April 1995 ***************************************************************** DOCUMENTARY CHRONICLES RACISM, CIVIL RIGHTS GAINS By Michael J. Alva Sociology professor Hardy Frye isn't grumbling that the documentary, "Freedom on My Mind," didn't win an Academy Award last month, even though critics predicted it would. "I was a little disappointed. But the most significant thing is that it had been nominated," Frye said. "It means that a lot more people will see it. I think that's important." Frye, a professor of sociology at UC Santa Cruz who is on leave to direct the UC's systemwide Urban Community-School Collaborative, was associate producer of "Freedom on My Mind," which chronicles the Mississippi Voter Registration Project from 1961 to 1964. The documentary focuses on the "Freedom Summer" of 1964 when nearly a thousand young college students, mostly white, were bussed into Mississippi to register poor and disenfranchised blacks. As a 25-year-old Sacramento City College student, Frye participated in the project, which galvanized the nation. It was a key period during the civil rights movement, and ultimately became Frye's academic area of research. "Freedom on My Mind," a Clarity Productions film produced and directed by Berkeley film makers Connie Field and Marilyn Mulford, won the Grand Jury Prize for best documentary at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival last year. It also has been honored as the Best of Northern California at the National Educational Film Festival. Many film critics, including Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert, had pegged "Freedom on My Mind" to win the Oscar for best documentary, but the award went to a film about Maya Lin, the architect who designed the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. As one of several advisors for the film, Frye doesn't appear in the film, but helped opened doors for Field and Mulford to interview activists. Besides their interviews, the film makers used historical footage including film supplied by the UCLA Film and Television Archive, still photographs and home movies. Field and Mulford, who are white, thought it was important to have an African American guide them. Completed in early 1994, the documentary took about seven years to produce. Its $900,000 budget was financed with grants from the National Endowments for the Humanities and humanities grants from states including California, New York, Ohio and Mississippi. Frye's participation began in 1989. An Alabama native, Frye joined the civil rights movement in California where he settled after serving in the Army during the 1950s. "Freedom on My Mind" presented Frye the opportunity to continue his own personal activism while providing an audio and visual history for today's youth. "They can see and hear the actual voices of people, see them as young people and see what we had to deal with." Anyone who openly backed the civil rights movement black or white faced the possibility of not only harassment and beatings but death, Frye said. "Remember that even before we went (to Mississippi) . . . three civil rights workers had been killed (in July 1964)," Frye said, referring to the infamous crime that occurred just days before Frye had boarded a bus with the second wave of Freedom Riders. "I don't think anybody turned around. It was a sobering moment. That's for damn sure." The documentary also interested Frye because it gave him an opportunity to accurately portray events that he believes were misrepresented in the movie, "Mississippi Burning." For instance, the movie about the murder of the three civil rights workers and the subsequent investigation portrayed FBI agents as heroes, but many people considered them part of the problem, Frye said. Frye views "Freedom on My Mind" as a way to educate African Americans about what he believes was one of the most significant periods in the history of the civil rights movement and a period which led to activism in other areas. One of the things I insisted upon was to talk about not only our sophisticated analysis, but also how naive we were in some cases about what we were getting involved in, and how our political consciousness grew over the period that we were getting involved a summer, a year and four and five years for some people." Frye doesn't believe, as some political scientists do, that the politics of the 1960s was the politics of youth, only a passing interest on their way to becoming mainstream. "Some of the women who were in Mississippi went into the women's movement, some of the people from Berkeley, like Mario Savio, helped start the free speech movement. Some . . . went into the anti-Vietnam War movement . . . into labor organizing . . . into the black power movement." Frye said his Mississippi experience gave him a new perspective on political battles and the relationship between blacks and whites. "I had been in the military; even though it was integrated, it was segregated. I had lived in South-Central L.A. I was in a black world until 64." In Mississippi, he said, "I worked with guys whose lives were on the line just like me, and they were white. It had a great effect on how I see political allies. A lot of these whites we are still friends." Frye also developed skills he uses today as director of the collaborative program, a systemwide partnership between UC, local school districts and community groups to improve the life for urban students inside and outside the classroom. The training and experience gave him "some idea how you bring people together to make change," he said. "Freedom on My Mind" captures the dynamics of the change that took place in Mississippi as whites and blacks developed mutual trust, as they began organizing voters and as the Mississippi Democratic Freedom Party rose to challenge the Dixiecrats of the Mississippi Democratic Party at the national convention in 1964. What separated the early years of the voter registration drive and that summer of 64 was "white protection," as Frye called it. Escalating violence against blacks led to civil rights groups asking whites to participate in voter registration to give the movement greater visibility. "Most of these white kids were from places like Harvard, Yale, Berkeley, Stanford, most of the major universities, coming to the South for the first time. With these kids came white protection that is, concern from senators, from congressmen, from the news media." Frye's first prospect for voter registration offered a sense that many people had been waiting for a call to arms with votes as the weapons. "I knocked on her door and asked her, would she like to register to vote. She said, I have been waiting for you guys. Let's go whenever you're ready'." The voter registration project and the civil rights movement in Mississippi laid the foundation for the future. By 1990, Mississippi had more elected black officials than any other state. Freedom Summer was the result of a coalition consisting of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, the Congress of Racial Equality, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. "They all came together to put forth this massive push in the summer to crack Mississippi" because of the belief that racism was entrenched there more than any other state, Frye said. In 1961, the first black man who tried to register to vote was shot and killed by a white state legislator who had been a lifelong acquaintance. The legislator was acquitted on grounds of self-defense. When "Freedom on My Mind" was completed, Frye didn't like it, believing that some of the political issues should have received greater attention. But from the audience reaction, "Apparently, I have been proven wrong," Frye said. He noted that he looks at the film differently than most people because he participated in the events portrayed. "After watching the film three or four times, I began to like it. It doesn't hurt to have people telling you it's a great film."

But her tenacious search for her husband's killer and her own determination and leadership make her a civil rights powerhouse in her own right. In 1995, Evers-Williams became chairwoman of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, but her journey really began on June 12, 1963, when she opened her front door in Jackson, Mississippi, to find her husband fatally shot in the back. White supremacist Byron De La Beckwith was charged with the murder but was not convicted after two trials ended in hung juries. Despite this initial defeat, Evers-Williams continued searching for new evidence in the case. In 1994 De La Beckwith was finally convicted of Evers' murder and sentenced to life in prison. After the verdict was read, Evers-Williams "broke into a smile, shouted a cheer and raised a clenched fist to the sky in triumph," the New York Times reported. FULL NAME
