Students who lived through court-ordered desegregation in the South grew up to become less conservative, more tolerant adults. That's the finding of provocative research from education scholar Mark Chin, who compared students who attended integrated schools with their peers in the same county who didn't. Mark says his research is a reminder to academics to think bigger than test scores when looking at the impact of education policy. But it also provides us with essential context for understanding today's wave of school privatization in the South: an effort to produce kids who will be more conservative and less tolerant as adults.

What with crusaders turning the school board and hospital board into ideological battlefields, the Sarasota County Commission has been a bit of a latecomer in the culture wars. But, under the lead of Commissioner Mike Moran, they're now catching up, as Ramon Lopez reports. Meanwhile, at an elementary school in Sarasota, students, parents and teachers walked to honor Ruby Bridges and the history of racial integration of schools. Ryan Stanley was there.Then: The City of Sarasota has a new mayor. Which is not a big deal compared to other cities, because it happens every year.

In September of 1957, Bing Crosby, now fifty-four years old, was gearing up to host the Edsel TV special and generating praise for his recent dramatic role as Earl Carlton in Man On Fire. He'd won an Academy Award, had his own radio show since 1931, and championed the widespread use of Prime Time, network transcription. The Ford Road Show featuring Bing Crosby debuted on September 2nd, 1957. It aired five days per week on CBS for five minutes. These were taped segments edited by Murdo MacKenzie and written and produced by Bill Morrow The just-heard John Scott Trotter conducted the orchestra. It included an opening theme, one or two songs by Bing and commercials by Ken Carpenter. This episode aired on September 24th. Ford's Agency of Record J. Walter Thompson saturated radio with five-minute segments. They also sponsored a show with Rosemary Clooney, a chit chat by Arthur Godfrey and news by Edward R. Murrow. Earlier in this episode we spoke about The Civil Rights Act of 1957 and the Hattie Cotton Elementary School bombing in Nashville, Tennessee. With forced integration underway, federal troops needed to be called out to Little Rock, Arkansas where a group of nine African American students enrolled in Little Rock Central High School were stopped from attending by the state's governor. On September 27th CBS Radio ran a special report on the progress, or lack thereof, in southern school integration in the three years following Brown vs. The Board of Education.

Most everyone is familiar with the story of Ruby Bridges, a little Black girl who integrated her school in Louisiana at just six years old (her first day was immortalized in a Norman Rockwell painting, underscoring just how tiny she was.) But we also know that there were hundreds of segregated schools in America, which means there are dozens more Ruby Bridges who were little warriors, just like her. I am excited for you to meet Ms. Shondolyn Small, one of the first Black students to attend her town's all white school. One of the most impactful parts of our conversation was the visceral response she had to the memories. Our conversation covered the impact of race in her small town Alabama, colorism and the concept of the “acceptable Negro”, and the lifelong effects of racial trauma. You will be charmed by her sweet spirit, and inspired to hear all of the victories she has achieved along the way. You will also be TOUCHED to hear about her past and current heroes. If you're ready, buckle up - Let's go!

The guys give some unsolicited advice to a woman struggling with her political identity, have a longer discussion on recent efforts at school integration, and check in on some old friends - Michael Flynn, Lin Wood, and the rest of the QAnon cohort.

First broadcast on October 11, 1976. Studs Terkel discusses the transportation of students for school integration with psychologist Thomas J. Cottle. The main topic of conversation is Cottle's book, "Busing" (1976, Boston, MA, Beacon Press). Terkel and Cottle discuss busing in several cities, focusing on Boston, MA, where Cottle did his research and writing. They each read passages from the book, and discuss the relationship between busing and racism in America.

Adrianne Reynolds had a tumultuous childhood. But when she turned 16, she moved to East Moline, Illinois to live with her adoptive father and stepmother, and it seemed that Adrianne was on steady ground. She began working toward her GED at Black Hawk College Outreach Center, got a job at a fast food chain, and did chores around the house. She even made a few friends. At least, she thought they were her friends. Then Kristin tells us about the first court-ordered integration of a public school in the South. Black students had limited options in Clifton, Tennessee. The local school for black students lacked the resources of the white students' public school. Plus, it only taught children through the eighth grade. If a black student in Clifton wanted to attend middle or high school, they had to be bussed to a school in Knoxville. On top of that, their parents had to pay tuition. To add insult to injury, most of the black folks in Clifton lived just a few yards away from Clifton High School. So, in 1950, a brave group of black students and their families fought the local school board for their right to equal education. And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: The documentary, “The Clinton 12” “The Clinton Desegregation Crisis,” Blackpast.org “Clinton Desegregation Crisis,” by Carroll Van West for Tennessee Encyclopedia “The Clinton High School Desegregation Case,” by Linda T.

Today, we're sharing an episode from 2019:Brown v. Board of Education was hailed as a landmark decision for civil rights. But decades later, many consider school integration a failure. UC Berkeley professor Rucker Johnson's 2019 book, Children of the Dream: Why School Integration Works, shows the exact opposite is true. The book looks at decades of studies to show that students of all races who attended integrated schools fared better than those who did not. In this January 2019 interview with Goldman School of Public Policy Dean Henry Brady, Johnson explains how he and his team analyzed the impact of not just integration, but school funding policies and the Head Start program.Listen to the episode and read the transcript on Berkeley News.

New England states are asking visitors to self-isolate for 14 days to slow the spread of coronavirus. This week on NEXT, we look at Rhode Island’s approach to out-of-staters as COVID-19 cases rise. And we head to Maine, where a toilet paper company is trying to meet demand for rolls of “white gold.” Plus, the unintended consequences of school choice.

As part of Black History Month, two of the first black students to integrate Norfolk's public schools reflected on their experiences of school desegregation and the impact it's had on their lives.

White parents say they want their kids to go to integrated schools. But when they’re given the power to choose, schools tend to be more segregated. This week on NEXT, we’ll dig into a recent report on school choice. And we hear from a mother who says her son was on the losing side of school integration. Plus, a soldier exposed to secret nuclear weapons tests during the Cold War returns to college at 83.

Talking School Integration  Was school integration a “failed experiment”? Is the impact of policy limited when it comes to education?  In this episode, Goldman Professor Rucker Johnson debunks the myths around school integration and shares the insights from his new book, Children of the Dream: Why School Integration Works. In this second episode of our series on Policy Design and Implementation, Sarah Edwards (MPP ’20) speaks with Professor Johnson about the way well-designed policy can lead to significant outcomes for all children. The conversation covers the impacts of historic desegregation, the dangers of current resegreation, and the best combination of policies to achieve diversity and educational excellence.  As with many of the issues that Talk Policy to Me covers, there is more to the story of integration and race in schools than we could cover in this short episode. Here are a few resources we suggest if you are interested in diving deeper:   Check out Children of the Dream, available at your local bookstore  Read “It was never about Busing” by Nikole Hannah-Jones  Explore the Washington Posts’ map on school district diversity

The Little Girl Who Became the Face of School Integration (0:34)Guest: Ruby Bridges, Civil Rights ActivistThursday marked the 59th anniversary of the day Ruby Bridges became a Civil Rights icon. That was her first day of first grade as one of the first African American children to integrate an all-white school in the South. Norman Rockwell turned that moment into an iconic painting –you know the one. There's tiny Ruby Bridges in a white dress, sneakers and bow in her braid. She's flanked by federal marshals in suits. And she looks so calm and resolute, even though the wall she's walking by is marred with a racial slur and the red splatter of tomatoes. (Originally aired November 19, 2015).  The Unsung Hero of the Battle of Midway (16:27)Guest: David Rigby, Author of “Wade McClusky and the Battle of Midway”With Veterans Day fresh on our minds, lets revisit the story of US Navy pilot Wade McClusky. Six months after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, the US dealt a devastating blow to Japan's naval fleetin what's known as the Battle of Midway. Historians consider it a turning point of World War II in the Pacific. But it almost wasn't. The bombers sent to sneak-attack Japan's aircraft carriers got bad information: the ships weren't where they were supposed to be, and the American planes were running low on fuel. So, Wade McClusky followed his gut and, I know this sounds dramatic, but he literally made history. Historian David Rigby is the first to publish the story in full. (Originally aired June 20, 2019).  More than a Musical, a Look Behind the Scenes of Alexander Hamilton (35:36)Guest: Joanne Freeman is a Professor of History and American Studies at Yale UniversityFour years since it opened on Broadway, Hamilton: An American Musical is still one of the hottest tickets in town. But just how accurate is its portrayal of Alexander Hamilton? Earlier this year we got the answer from historian Joanne Freeman –she's a professor at Yale University. She worked with Lin Manuel Miranda and others from the Hamilton musical team to create an interactive exhibit about the founding father and war veteran. It was open during the Spring and Summer in Chicago.

For the second time in two weeks. The concentration of noxious stuff in the air is right now 10-times higher than what's considered safe. India isn't the only one. Globally, hundreds of thousands of people die prematurely each year from poor air. Scientists are discovering air pollution is linked to heart attacks, heart attacks, strokes, birth defects, cancer, dementia, diabetes and Parkinson's disease. Environmental journalist Beth Gardiner's book “Choked” examines the consequences of air pollution around the world. (Originally aired August 8, 2019).  Where Do Pets Go During Natural Disasters? (1:25:41)Guest: Sarah E. DeYoung, Ph.D., Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology & Criminal Justice and the Disaster Research Center at the University of Delaware, Investigator for the Pets and Evacuation Research ProjectIn emergency situations like a wildfire or hurricane, people are obviously the number one priority. But what about pets? Many view their dog or cat as another family member, yet most people –and their communities –have little, if any evacuation plan for pets. (Originally aired July 31, 2019). 

Beth is a mom of two grappling with race, parenting and her own privilege in America. Looking back over the past year, we follow Beth as she learns how the choices she makes for her daughters’ schooling shapes how she lives in her city… where she belongs, who she calls “WE.” Part 5 finds Beth starting her second year at the school across the interstate.  Meanwhile, her district, like many across the country, is in the midst of some upheaval - declining enrollment, school closures, consolidation.  Being a part of the new school community has allowed Beth a different vantage point through which to understand it all... Special thanks to Beth, Nadia and Maya for being so honest, open and vulnerable, and then allowing us to share that with the world.  If you've enjoyed this series, please share with a friend, leave us a rating or a review, and donate to this all volunteer project at IntegratedSchools.org.  Music in this episode by Blue Dot Sessions.This series was produced by Courtney Mykytyn and Andrew Lefkowits.Audio editing and mixing by Andrew Lefkowits

Parents in Howard County, Maryland, are pushing back against a school redistricting plan that would address overcrowding and a lack of diversity. Opponents say the changes will disrupt communities and strap kids with longer commutes. They say it’s not fair for their families and their kids. How are educators supposed to make the case that something that upsets individuals is better for the public good? Guest: Joshua Starr, CEO of PDK International Learn more about your ad choices.

There is substantial evidence, developed over many years, that the integration of public schools results in widespread socioeconomic benefits. These benefits accrue to all of the students who learn in an integrated setting. And yet there has been resistance, often bitter resistance, at nearly every turn when it comes to integrating our schools. At the moment we are not only NOT making progress on school integration, we are going backwards. Bob discusses why this is the case with guest Richard Kahlenberg, a longtime proponent of racial and socioeconomic integration. Mr. Kahlenberg is a senior fellow with The Century Foundation and the author, with two of his colleagues, of an important report entitled, “A Bold Agenda for School Integration.”

Brown v. Board of Education was hailed as a landmark decision for civil rights. But decades later, many consider school integration a failure. UC Berkeley professor Rucker C. Johnson's new book Children of the Dream: Why School Integration Works shows the exact opposite is true. The book looks at decades of studies to show that students of all races who attended integrated schools fared better than those who did not. In this interview with Goldman School of Public Policy Dean Henry E. Brady, which took place on Jan. 9, 2019, Johnson explains how he and his team analyzed the impact of not just integration, but school funding policies and the Head Start program.This lecture was recorded by UCTV, the UC Public Policy Channel.The Goldman School of Public Policy, with the Berkeley Institute for the Future of Young Americans, also produces a podcast, “Talk Policy To Me.”Listen and read a transcript on Berkeley News.

In the 1996 landmark Sheff v. O'Neill case, the Connecticut Supreme Court found that minority students in Hartford's public schools “suffered daily” due to racial and economic segregation.Now, 22 years later -- Connecticut's magnet school solution to Sheff's desegregation mandate has been held up as a model for integration around the country. Yet many minority students in Hartford still attend struggling and highly segregated schools.Support the show: http://wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Violent protests by white supremacists, a school bombing, and courage in the face of racial hatred all helped define 1957, the year Nashville's public schools began desegregation. Host Allen Forkum (editor of The Nashville Retrospect newspaper) talks to Dr. Bobby Lovett about the significance of the Supreme Court’s 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision and its effect on the civil rights movement in Nashville. Lajuanda Street Harley, a Glenn School student who was one of the first black first-graders to be integrated, recalls the tumultuous times, along with her 90-year-old mother, Sorena Street. The two also discuss downtown shopping, white vs. black schools, and dealing with racism. Debie Oeser Cox, a first-grader in 1958, recalls her time at Glenn School, as well as race relations and life in North East Nashville. Former police officer Joe Casey and former news reporter Larry Brinton remember events relating to pro-segregationist protesters and the Hattie Cotton School bombing. Also hear audio excerpts from the January 1957 hearings before the Tennessee State Legislature on the merits of Governor Frank Clement’s “moderate” segregation plan. (All of the above is part of one segment, which begins at 03:50) Lajuanda Street (back turned) and Jackie Griffith (right) meet white fellow students on registration day at Glenn School, on Aug. 28, 1957. It was the first day blacks were allowed to register for white schools in Nashville. (Image: Nashville Public Library, Nashville Room, photo by Bob Ray) Original caption from the Sept. 10, 1957, Nashville Banner: “A large rock is hurled at the windshield of a car carrying two Negroes during an unruly demonstration Monday night against desegregation at Fehr School. Arrows show the rock and a soft drink bottle, cocked in the hand of a young boy and ready to be tossed at the vehicle. Five hundred adults, as well as youngsters, many not yet in their teens, tossed debris at passing cars which contained Negroes. Police finally broke up the crowd. No injuries were reported.” (Image: Nashville Public Library, Nashville Room, photo by Dale Ernsberger) On Sept. 9, 1957, large groups of jeering whites gathered outside of Glenn School and other elementary schools to protest black first-graders being integrated into the previously all-white schools. At the far right, Harold Street escorts his daughter Lajuanda (not seen), who thought the crowd was part of a first-day-of-school parade. In front of him, Mary Griffith holds the hands of her daughter, Jacquelyn Faye, and son, Stevie; Mary Griffith had been fired from her job at Pet Milk Company for participating in integration. (Image: Nashville Public Library, Nashville Room) Segregationist and white supremacist John Kasper, of Camden, N.J., speaks to protesters at Glenn School. The Nashville Tennessean reported he called upon his supporters "to boycott the schools, warning them of violence if desegregation continues, urging them to attend his rally last night on the steps of War Memorial auditorium.” At that rally, Kasper would urge the picketing of Hattie Cotton School, which was bombed later that same night. (Image: Nashville Public Library, Nashville Room) Lajuanda Street (left) begins her first day of school at Glenn with an unidentified fellow student. Lajuanda Street Harley’s recollections of that day are featured in this podcast. (Image: Nashville Public Library, Nashville Room) Original caption from the Sept. 10, 1957, Nashville Banner: “East wall of Hattie Cotton School is left in shambles from an early morning dynamite blast. The school, located at 1010 West Greenwood Ave., enrolled one Negro student Monday.” (Image: Nashville Public Library, Nashville Room, photo by Rob Ray) And finally, Allen Forkum briefly reviews some of the contents of the September 2018 issue of The Nashville Retrospect, including: the 1978 robbery of the Country Music Hall of Fame; the 1941 fire at Woolworth downtown; 1868 articles about Market Street drunkenness and velocipedes; and a 1970 advertisement for the famous Nashville stripper Heaven Lee.

Game Changer: Football as a Catalyst for Peaceable School Integration is the first installment in the Hope audio series, commissioned and directed by the Mountain of Hope Organization, supported by the West Virginia Humanities Council and produced by Talking Across the Lines, LLC, www.folktalk.org; www.facebook.com/klinesacrossthelines/ Hope is an interracial documentary project looking back 50 years on Mount Hope, WV, a truth telling. Michael and Carrie Kline, along with O.H. Jackson Napier, collected more than 40 life story interviews from sons and daughters of coal miners. The stories focus on the fabric of life and work in this small, diverse town a half-century ago. The defining occupation was coal mining with all of its dangers, health hazards, and intricate working relationships. These heart-rending voices portray the struggles and camaraderie of this iconic work, at times facing down stereotypes of race relations, at times airing hard truths. A mixture of southern blacks, European immigrants, and white laborers from hard-scrabble local farms were employed underground, working together and watching each others’ backs. The resulting bonds that grew among working coal miners shaped the social milieu of the town above, complicating differences and minimizing conflicts across the boundaries of race, class and ethnicity found in other regions. Yet fifty-some years later, people of color find words through this project to voice the ever present pain of racism threaded throughout intricate relations on the ball field, the classroom and at times even in after school play and weekend camping trips. More installments of Hope are available on the Talking Across the Lines podcast.

Marshall was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on July 2, 1908. He was the great-grandson of a slave who was born in the modern-day Democratic Republic of the Congo; his grandfather was also a slave. His original name was Thoroughgood, but was eventually shortened to Thurgood in second grade because he disliked spelling it. His father, William Marshall, who was a railroad porter, and his mother Norma, a teacher, instilled in him an appreciation for the United States Constitution and the rule of law. Marshall attended Frederick Douglass High School in Baltimore and was placed in the class with the best students. He graduated a year early in 1925 with a B-grade average, and placed in the top third of the class. Subsequently he went to Lincoln University. It is commonly reported that he intended to study medicine and become a dentist. But according to his application to Lincoln University, Marshall stated that his goal was to become a lawyer. Among his classmates were poet Langston Hughes and musician Cab Calloway. Initially he did not take his studies seriously, and was suspended twice for hazing and pranks against fellow students. He was not politically active at first, becoming a "star" of the debating team and in his freshman year opposed the integration of African-American professors at the university. Hughes later described him as "rough and ready, loud and wrong". In his second year he got involved in a sit-in protest against segregation at a local movie theatre. In this same year, he was initiated as a member of the first black fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha. His marriage to Vivien Burey in September 1929 encouraged him to take his studies seriously, and he graduated from Lincoln with honors (cum laude) Bachelor of Arts in Humanities, with a major in American literature and philosophy.
