Description

Examines why school desegregation, in spite of its success in closing the achievement gap, was once never embraced wholeheartedly in the black community as a treatment for racial inequality
 
In 2007, a court case firstly filed in Louisville, Kentucky, was once argued before the Supreme Court and officially ended the era of school desegregation— both changing how schools across The united states care for race and undermining an important civil rights cases of the last century. Of course, this wasn’t the first federal lawsuit to challenge school desegregation. But it was once the first—and only—one brought by African Americans. In Divided We Fail, journalist Sarah Garland deftly and sensitively tells the stories of the families and individuals who fought for and against desegregation. By reframing how we recurrently consider race, education, and the history of desegregation, this timely and deeply relevant book will be a very powerful contribution to the continued struggle toward true racial equality.
