formed a council to help ensure the safety of black pupils at his son’s high school.
It seems like another lifetime, another world, & yet it wasn’t really that long ago at all.
It wasn’t something I saw here that much< or not that I noticed, schools were & had been integrated for ages by the time I went, but I remember my intermediate school, that you go to here when your 11 & 12yrs old, was boasted as being a ‘Maori’ school as it integrated a lot of their culture into the school, reading & writing, learning about their heritage & the past history between Pakeha & Maori etc etc, but we kids just took it as school, not anything different.
