Lorraine M. Radtke Papers, 1947-1981

Container Title
Series: 2. Milwaukee Public School System, 1943-1981
Scope and Content Note: This series contains information about various aspects of the Milwaukee Public School System. Subjects covered in this series are the desegregation of the schools, the start of a breakfast program, teacher strikes, and general complaints about the schools. The records include committee reports, correspondence, newspaper clippings, and meeting minutes. Of interest is an audio cassette tape sent to Radtke by an irate white male regarding the desegregation of the schools. Another fascinating aspect of the series is the report on the attitudes of Milwaukee's teachers compiled by Radtke. The report reflects the racial biases of the teachers in 1965.
