Hugh B. Price, 2001
Hugh B. Price is president of the National Urban League and a thoughtful, impassioned education reformer. He and the Urban League have published this 400-page collection of his speeches and writings. About a quarter of it (7 entries) is devoted to "urban education." Much of what's here is perceptive and tough-minded. The rest of the volume tackles other topics from race relations to affirmative action to police "misconduct." If you'd like to see it, the ISBN is 0914758950, and the price is $24.95 plus $4.50 shipping. To order a copy, contact the National Urban League's Publications Department at 212-558-5345.
