Putting Race on the Table in America's Schools

As the nation marks the 65th anniversary of Brown v.s Board of Education, school segregation and racial and educational inequity remain pervasive issues. In fact, for many students, schools are more segregated today than they were during the historic Supreme Court decision. In this issue, educators examine the racial divisions facing America's schools and propose solutions to fulfill Brown's original promise.
