Still Separate and Unequal: The Resegregation of America’s Public Schools

It has been more than 50 years since the Supreme Court ruled racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional in Brown v Board of Education. While civil rights advocates have been fighting to dismantle school segregation for decades, they have been particularly alarmed by a recent movement to turn the clock back and further segregate our country’s schools.   

In Still Separate and Unequal: The Resegregation of America’s Public Schools, our panelists will explore the modern methods and impacts of school segregation, and discuss how advocates and members of the community may affect change. Speakers include:  

• Shakti Belway, Deputy Director, National Center for Youth Law

• Aneth Naranjo, Youth Executive Director of People Operations at the Peer Defense Project of IntegrateNYC

• Gary Orfield, Ph.D., Co-Director, The Civil Rights Project at UCLA

• Rev. Dr. Eugene Bryant, President, Lawrence County Branch NAACP
