Abstract
On November 6, 1973, Oakland School Superintendent Dr. Marcus A. Foster was assassinated in an Oakland, California parking lot. Editorials condemned the slaying as a "senseless act" which deprived the nation of one of its leading educators. But educators and newsmen in their haste to eulogize Foster neglected to analyze the problems facing American educators which his assassination brings to light.Keywords
