14.033 - School Desegregation and Educational Equality in the 20th and 21st Centuries
Thu, April 27, 12:00 to 1:30pm, Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, Floor: Meeting Room Level, Room 216 BSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
This symposium brings together historians and sociologists whose recently published books examine school desegregation and educational equality in historical and contemporary contexts. Panelists will discuss the history of “busing” and the 1950s origins of resistance to school desegregation in the North; on how desegregation in Nashville worked to remake educational inequality in the process of statistical desegregation; the successes and limitations of metropolitan school desegregation plans; and how students in a suburban school district experienced desegregation and integration in different ways.
