Description
An account of the resource
This letter is applauding Marion Fahey and the Boston School Committee for hiring Muriel K. Harris as the new community Superintendent of District 9. Harris, as noted by Jean McGuire, held a doctorate in administration from Harvard University and was not only more than capable of the job, but was also a capable black woman. The importance of this is that Jean McGuire hopes that the hiring of Muriel K. Harris would help to bridge the gap in black representation and employment in the upper echelons of school administration.
