It informed him that he had been fired from his job. Eighteen other educators in the Ocean Hill-Brownsville area of Brooklyn received similar letters that day. The dismissed educators were white. The local school board that fired them was predominantly African-American. The crisis that the firings provoked became the most racially divisive moment in the city in more than a century, sparking three teachers strikes and increasingly angry confrontations between black and white New Yorkers at bargaining tables, on picket lines, and in the streets.This superb book revisits the Ocean Hill-Brownsville crisis-a watershed in modern New York City race relations. Jerald E. Podair connects the conflict with the sociocultural history of the city and explores its legacy. The book is a powerful, sobering tale of racial misunderstanding and fear, a New York story with national implications.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52193636122912,"sku":"NEW0300109407","price":44.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61_qk-EC7uL.jpg?v=1786886602","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-strike-that-changed-new-york-blacks-whites-and-the-ocean-hill-brownsville-crisis-0300109407","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
