Ravenswood High School in East Palo Alto - a star of desegregation or a victim to flawed planning?

What does it mean to have a school in your locality? Why do people move to areas in cities that provide basic services like healthcare, education, employment, transportation, alimentation and entertainment?When these services are taken away, society dies, communities die.When Ravenswood High School was closed down in the 1970s, so many dreams went with it. Though it is hard to tell why decisions are taken or whether anything sinister even occurred at all, questions must be asked to avoid similar failures in the future. In the name of doing something good, why take such risks as may threaten the existence of a school?That is the story of Ravenswood High School. That is its tragedy.Thank you, Walter, for taking the time to talk with me.
