Podcast appearances and mentions of Richard D Kahlenberg

If you have not yet seen the Netflix biopic "Rustin" a project of Barach and Michelle Obama, it is a movie well worth your time. The movie unveils the extraordinary genius and timeless persistence of Bayard Rustin who in a very short 2 month window of time pulled off the Magnum Opus of citizen action. The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Richard KahlenbergThe climax of the movie is the 1963 March on Washington, an obvious place to end this movie but less than satisfying for its failure to pose the broader and more important historic questions about the direction of change that was to follow the March. This series of questions are the ones raised in Richard Kahlenberg's critique of the movie. His satisfaction with the pure recognition of Rustin is apparent but so too is his disappointment that the Obama's failed to use this movie as a teachable moment, beyond introducing this extraordinary man to a generation of citizens who have missed an important moment in time and the contributions of a gay, black man, persistent in a time when he was, at best, a second class citizen, even among those in the movement.

Richard D. Kahlenberg is a nonresident scholar at Georgetown University's McCourt School of Public Policy. The author or editor of 18 books, he has been called “the intellectual father of the economic integration movement” in K–12 schooling and “arguably the nation's chief proponent of class-based affirmative action in higher education admissions.” He is also an authority on housing segregation, teachers' unions, charter schools, community colleges, and labor organizing. His latest book is Excluded: How Snob Zoning, NIMBYism, and Class Bias Build the Walls We Don't See.
