Brown v Board at 66 (BONUS)

Last year, leading up the 65th anniversary, we put together a 6 part mini-series called “The Stories We Tell Ourselves – Moving From Desegregation to Integration”. It is in no way a comprehensive history, but hopefully it complicates the stories we tell about Brown v Board. These stories and others about our past desegregation efforts have a huge impact on how we interact with school today, Our hope is that a more honest assessment of the history can be a first step towards real integration.LINKS:Part 1 – With Rucker Johnson, author of Children Of The Dream: Why School Integration WorksPart 2 – With Noliwe Rooks, author of Cutting School: Privatization, Segregation, and the End of Public EducationPart 3 – With Amanda Lewis, co-author of Despite The Best Intentions: How Racial Inequality Thrives in Good SchoolsPart 4 – With Civil Rights Attorney, David HinojosaPart 5 – With Greg and CarolPart 6 – Grappling with what we’ve learned with Anna.Use these links or start at our Bookshop.org storefront to support local bookstores, and send a portion of the proceeds back to us.Register for our upcoming bookclub in early December. We’re reading Mia Birdsong’sHow We Show Up.Join our Patreon to support this work, and connect with us and other listeners to discuss these issues even further.Let us know what you think of this episode, suggest future topics, or share your story with us – @integratedschls on twitter, IntegratedSchools on Facebook, or email us [email protected] are a proud member of The Connectd Podcast Network.The Integrated Schools Podcast was created by Courtney Mykytyn and Andrew Lefkowits.This episode was produced by Courtney Mykytyn and Andrew Lefkowits. It was edited, and mixed by Andrew Lefkowits.Music by Kevin Casey.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
