SUMMARY:Fresh Air Children and The Problem of Race in America
DESCRIPTION:Since 1877 and to this day\, Fresh Air programs from Maine to
  Montana have brought inner-city children to rural and subur
 ban homes for two-week summer vacations. Opening a new chapt
 er in the history of race in the United States\, Professor Sh
 earer will show how the actions of hundreds of thousands of 
 rural and suburban residents who hosted children from the ci
 ty perpetuated racial inequity rather than overturned it. Co
 vering the racially transformative years between 1939 and 19
 79\, Shearer will show how the rhetoric of innocence employed
  by Fresh Air boosters largely served the interests of relig
 iously minded white hosts and did little to offer more than 
 a vacation for African American and Latino urban youth.
