Geneva Smitherman. CCCC's Role in the Struggle for Language Rights.

Smitherman, Geneva. "CCCC's Role in the Struggle for Language Rights." CCC 50.3 (1999): 349-376.

Abstract:

This 50-year history looks at two CCCC policies on language rights: the 1974 "Students' Right to Their Own Language," and the 1988 "National Language Policy." Smitherman documents the conversations and debates about languages rights published in CCC and the political effects of and uses to which the policies were put, successful and not so successful.
