In "America's Community Colleges: The First Century", Allen A. Witt, James L. Wattenbarger, James F. Gollattscheck, and Joseph E. Suppiger narrate the history of the first hundred years of American community colleges from the perspective of the 1990s. The authors show how junior colleges helped democratize education in American and became part of a long tradition that includes grammar schools and land-grant colleges. The authors take the reader on a grand tour of the personalities that shaped the community college movement and the state boards, associations, and colleges that helped build its momentum. Along the way, the authors debunk some of the myths that have haunted two-year institutions and uncover some surprising facts. The authors also discuss the baby boom's effects on the growth of community colleges, the efforts of African Americans to join AACC's Board of Directors, the controversy surrounding the first junior college, and the history of the very words "community college." Comprehensive and readable, "America's Community College" is the foremost work on the history of "the people's college." -- From publisher's description.
