dc.description.abstractThe goal of this narrative study was to hear the experiences of one intergenerational African American family's experiences with school choice options. The narrative stories were collected through face-to-face interviews with each participant, and all of the interviews took place in the participants' homes.
dc.description.abstractThe three generations of the family consisted of nine members including the patriarch and matriarch, their two daughters, their grandchildren, and one son-in-law. At the time of the study the oldest member was 80 and the youngest member was 7. The participants discussed their school stories over a period of time beginning in the early 1930s and continuing through the early 1970s. During that time, the families lived in the southern United States, in the Midwest, and on the East Coast.
dc.description.abstractI did not attach expectations and outcomes to this study because my goal was to listen to the adults and to the children so that I could learn about their experiences and then share them with the community. My interest in this particular format came out of my own background as an educator and so part of this telling of educational experiences includes the story of my own family's educational journey.
