Historians of urban education have concentrated their attention on the cities of the Northeast, leaving a major gap in the historiography of American schooling. This work, the first to focus on southern cities, makes an important contribution to the field. It presents case studies of growth and change in the public school systems of six cities in the deep South, together with several essays, that place the southern experience in a comparative historical and historiographical context. Lynette Wrenn contributed to this work.

1995Quotations: "Having spent a number of years studying the historian’s craft, I wanted to try my hand at writing a book. It has been a tremendously satisfying enterprise but, at the same time, a humbling experience. Delving into a subject, about which I knew absolutely nothing, has opened a whole new world to me, and in return I have been able to share my insights with other people."
Lynette is a member of Phi Beta Kappa.
Lynette married Earl Lewis Wrenn, Jr., a pediatric surgeon, on April 28, 1956. Their marriage produced three children - Edward Howard, John Jeffries and Claire Wrenn Bobrow.
