Progress in Education.
Biographical notes:
Progress in Education was a civil rights organization formed in 1972 to express support for racial integration in Louisville public schools and for the federal courts' plan for busing as a means to that end, and to protect African-American students and their parents from violence. The group's guiding spirt and records-keeper was southern civil rights activist Anne Braden, who had long played an important role as a local organizer in racial struggles. She was executive director of the Southern Conference Educational Fund. PIE was a vigorous advocate of the unpopular views in a debate the polarized the community in the late 1970s. It disbanded at the end of the second school year under the court order.
