It's been almost a half century since the U.S. Supreme
Court made the landmark Brown verses Board of Education
decision, essentially ending legalized segregation in
schools. Great progress was made in the Southeastern United
States and other regions of the country during the 1960s and 1970s. But, a series of subsequent Supreme Court decisions in the 1990s and shifts in education policy at the federal, state, and local levels, have led to a trend that some observers are describing as "resegregation."
On this edition of Making Contact, we take a look at
racial inequality in public education. |
