Articles to show schools still lack equality in modern times

In 1954 the U.S. Supreme Court declared segregated public schools unconstitutional: what is the state of educational freedom in this country over forty years later? David Salisbury and Casey Lartigue Jr. gather articles to show schools still lack equality in modern times: minority children in urban neighborhoods still suffer disproportionately from a failing education system. A dozen leading scholars, educators and reformers examine why in Educational Freedom in Urban America: Fifty Years After Brown V. Board of Education.
