In 2005, a group of anonymous donors said they would send every graduate of the Kalamazoo Public Schools in Michigan to college for free. In this volume, Miller-Adams (political science, Grand Valley State U., and W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research) considers the impact of the Kalamazoo Promise and how it might reverse the decline of the school district and city and serve as a catalyst for economic, educational, and social change. She describes the origins of the Kalamazoo Promise, why it was created, its structure, initial responses to it, the region’s economic and social history, and its relevance as a model for other communities.
