Revisiting Not In My Suburbs: Milliken v Bradley @46

July 25th will mark the 46th anniversary of the SCOTUS ruling on the Milliken v. Bradley case. Today, we revisit our episode from a year ago about this important and under-appreciated case. Joined by Michelle Adams, Constitutional Law Professor at Cardozo School of Law, who is writing Soul Force: Detroit, The Supreme Court, and the Epic Battle for Racial Justice in America, we discuss the case and its implications for today.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.LINKS: Parents Involved v Seattle SchoolsMilliken v BradleyKeyes v Denver School District 1Swann v Mecklenburg Brown v Board of EdEdBuild report on the $23 Billon funding gapComplete audio from the opinion, including the entirety of Justice Marshall’s dissent.Join our Patreon to support this work, and connect with us and other listeners to discuss these issues even further.
