from RUSD and the University of California, Riverside conducted a study in February, 1966 to evaluate the effects of integration
on children attending public schools, focusing on their emotional adjustment and academic achievement. The study was also
done to enable Riverside public schools to provide better educational opportunities for their students and produce guidelines
on integration for administrators nationwide. 1,736 children in the entire school district were chosen for the study, which
lasted for six years.
Collection Scope and Contents
The collection consists of progress reports, publications, newsletters, and pamphlets related to a research study conducted
by the Riverside Unified School District and the University of California, Riverside int the late 1960s. The research was
