Abstract

This session explores how equity in education is contested amid political polarization, racial legacies, and community resistance. Papers examine district leaders shaping agendas, families navigating urban revitalization, and Black parents turning to school choice as refusal. Studies highlight the survival of historically Black schools and advocacy against vouchers, revealing how opportunity, belonging, and resistance are structured by both policy and place across shifting educational landscapes.
