10、ents a private school.In the midst of remembering those times, and considering these times, a small laugh escapes from the tall woman with the majestic crown of dreadlocks. “Sometimes we sit around and say, did that happen?” she says. “Yes it did.”Her name is Rosie Collier Shamburger, and as the sch
11、ools superintendent for Wilcox County, she is responsible for the public education of some 2,200 children scattered about one of the very poorest stretches of this country. Of those 2,200 students, maybe 10 are white.Yes, it is the 50th anniversary of Little Rock, isnt it, when soldiers with rifles
12、escorted black teenagers with books into a white Arkansas high school to strike a blow against “separate but equal.” How time flies, how things change and where are we now?“I have to think about that,” Ms. Shamburger says.Wilcox County, a place of privilege and deprivation, of restored antebellum ho
13、uses and dilapidated mobile homes, had its own Little Rock experience, though much later than most. Slow to come around, you might say.The history provided by the Chamber of Commerce makes no mention of those days, but thats all right. Ms. Shamburger, 56, has not forgotten.She grew up the youngest o
14、f 13 in a Wilcox County place not found on any map, she says, but deep in that fabled vein called the Black Belt for reasons of soil and skin. Her father was a self-employed mechanic and her mother was a homemaker, which meant they were freer to speak out than their sharecropping neighbors.She gradu
15、ated in 1968 from the all-black Annemanie School, where she enjoyed a full education, she says, no matter that essentials like musical instruments were donated through the local Presbyterian church, no matter that her school had absolutely no interaction with the other, all-white high school in her
16、town. “Different worlds,” she says.Three years later, and with college degree in hand, she returned to teach math in Wilcox County, where Litter Rock was nothing more than the name of some distant city. The ensuing struggle for desegregation soon turned the terrifying into common.Her parents were ja
17、iled with dozens of others for marching without a permit. She lost her teaching job. And true integration in the countys public school system lasted about as long as it takes to walk out a door. White residents quickly created private academies; the extra cost ensured that their children would not h
18、ave to sit beside children of another color.Ms. Shamburger found a teaching job in another county, married, had children. Fourteen years later, in 1985, she returned again to work in Wilcox County. By now the student body was almost entirely black, and some of the schools were in such deplorable con
19、dition that they would become Exhibit A in the case against Alabama public education.Through the 1990s, lawyers representing a class of poor schoolchildren waged a legal battle to change a state financing formula that clearly shortchanged Black Belt school systems like Wilcox. Ms. Shamburger, meanwh
20、ile, earned a doctorate in educational leadership and rose to become the systems special education coordinator, which required her one day to visit a spacious high school in a Birmingham suburb where some students were studying photography.Studying what?“Thats when I realized we lacked so much,” she
21、 says.Ms. Shamburger became superintendent last year. By now, thanks to increases in county taxes and hard-won changes to the states school financing formula, Wilcox had new buses, a new elementary school and other improvements that moved the system closer to the equity intended by desegregation.But
22、 profound challenges remain. Parents are asked to provide toilet tissue and other paper products to cut down on costs. The high school bands uniforms are verging on threadbare. The middle school, the Camden School of Arts and Technology, has no music teacher.As for academics, Wilcox County spends mo

24、 because a culture indicates their separation.Ms. Shamburger calls the two-school system unfortunate; for one thing, the county would be eligible for more state money if the white students attended the public schools.
