What this episode covers
Based in Detroit, the Milliken decision functionally halted the promise of Brown v Board of Education at the city limits, allowing all-White suburbs (created through policies like redlining) to maintain all-White schools. The implications for ideas about what is possible regarding desegregation today, and how we fund schools are profound.
