BOOK REVIEWS: Recommended Reading--A Life on the RUN – Seeking and Safeguarding Social Justice
The Detroit Teacher May 2010
Dr. John Telford has led more lives than a cat and survived more setbacks. A Detroit teacher 50 years ago and again in this century, he bled in the amateur boxing ring, broke bones in football and fights, was incarcerated as a teen and expelled from a Detroit high school, sired a son with another man's wife, and tore his hamstring muscle in the 1956 Olympic trials. Decades later, skinheads riddled his Rochester house with midnight gunfire when as deputy superintendent he pioneered the hire of black administrators in that 98 percent white district. He endured a messy divorce he admits was his fault. He was fired from two DPS executive directorships for whistle blowing and from the Madison District Public Schools superintendency for bringing in hundreds of Detroit students against the wishes of white residents.
