Spaces within high schools and the adults at them provided support or inspiration - both negative and positive - for youth engaged in protest, organizing, and activism. Through rich research of archival sources and oral histories, contributors reveal new perspectives on American high school and youth activism. Viewed through the eyes of high school-aged youth around the United States - in familiar locations such as Boston, New York City, and Detroit, as well as less familiar locales in the historiography, such as Salt Lake City and the Navajo Reservation - we extend our understanding of high school and how it has been experienced by youth activists in the post-World War II period. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDara Walker an assistant professor of African American studies, history, and women's, gender, and sexuality studies at the Pennsylvania State University. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlexander D.
