Summary

This edition of Colburn's work, winner of the Rembert Patrick Prize as best book in Florida history for 1986, is published on the anniversary of the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. In a new preface, Colburn revisits St. Augustine in 1990 and observes that the community has moved beyond legal integration and toward equality in educational, political, and cultural affairs. Equality remains an elusive dream for black residents, however, as economic barriers continue to deny them full opportunity and freedom. Book jacket.
