The complex story of a dynamic educator, Dr. Charlie§Mae Knight, a woman and an African American, is§interwoven with the Civil Rights Movement, women's§history, and the foundations of educating children of§color and children of poverty in the United States.§Dr Knight's own impoverished childhood forged her§determination to use education to escape the poverty§and racism of the Deep South of the U.S. at mid-20th§Century. She quickly learned that while she obtained§an education, it was still limited in too many§communities by the politics of poverty and§racism--even in the West. Using her extraordinary§personal charisma she tapped into the§emerging financial capital of Silicon Valley of the§1960's to develop the social capital of the families§in her community of East Palo Alto. In a highly§politicized climate charged with greed, hostility and§envy, Knight pursued the American dream for her§community, often at the cost of social isolation,§personal tragedy, and attempts to publicly discredit§her in the mainstream media.
