These research files were collected while writing the paper titled "The History Matters: Fighting for Equal Education in Lowell, Massachusetts, 1970-1990", published by the Institute for Asian American Studies at the University of Massachusetts Boston.

The supplemental materials provided in this collection cover the story of how Southeast Asian and Latino parents in Lowell confronted the Lowell School Committee in the late 1970s and 1980s, demanding that schools be desegregated and that their children have equal education opportunities.
