Abstract | More than a half century after Brown v. Board and 150 years since the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment: Is the fight for school integration still worthwhile for Black people? The answer to this question is complex, rooted in the social and political forces that have shaped American life in the past century and that shed light on Black trepidation about integration. It is also a critical question for society--and Black folks specifically--to answer, for it implicates the major social and policy decisions people grapple with today and their impact, at a time when there is little to speak of in terms of an integration agenda at the federal level. And yet, the shameful chasm of racial segregation in schools continues to widen. This report is an attempt to contextualize and make sense of contemporary Black thoughts on integration, and make a case for where to go from here. In particular, many of the current feelings and thoughts about integration, as well as the visions for the future of Black education, had originally emerged as retorts to the shortcomings of the era of desegregation, occurring primarily in the 1970s and the 1980s. In the Black backlash to desegregation, were the right lessons learned? (ERIC). |
