Are concepts of race and racism so embedded in our culture, that kids as young as 3 have a racial identity? How do environment and family dynamics impact a child's perceived sense of self? These were just some of the questions a husband-and-wife team of psychologists asked during their groundbreaking investigation of the racial formation of young Black children. During the 1940s, Kenneth and Mamie Clark recorded the negative impacts of segregation through a series of studies and experiments which came to be known as the “Doll Tests.” A student would choose between a Black doll and a White one when asked a series of questions, like “Which doll is the good doll?” or “which doll is the pretty doll?” Most Black children chose White dolls, and to the dismay of the Clarks, some students were upset and felt devastated after having to identify with the doll they had previously labeled as bad or ugly. I SEE U host Eddie Robinson candidly chats with acclaimed author, Tim Spofford, about his latest book, What the Children Told Us: The Untold Story of the Famous “Doll Test” and the Black Psychologists Who Changed the World. Spofford, who grew up in an all-white mill town in upstate New York, shares his thoughts on why he felt the need to tell the full story of this pioneering couple – whose research, scholarship and activism played a critical role in the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case, which declared the infamous “separate but equal” doctrine unconstitutional. He also offers up insight on how today's generation of children would perform if given the same doll tests from back in the day.
On Thursday's show: Ahead of next month's primary election, we talk with Sean Teare, who's running for Harris County District Attorney against incumbent Kim Ogg, who visited us herself for a candidate interview recently. Also this hour: We discuss what happens when the public's right to know bumps up against an individual's right to privacy. Law professor Amy Gajda examines that subject in her book, Seek and Hide: The Tangled History of the Right To Privacy. Then, we learn how a groundbreaking study by two Black psychologists, often referred to as The Doll Test, helped form the backbone of the legal case that ended school segregation. Author Tim Spofford tells the story in his book, What the Children Told Us. We hear an excerpt of his hour-long conversation on this week's edition of I See U with Eddie Robinson. And a mother and daughter we met a decade ago while attending college together tell us us what's happened in the years since.
In this bonus episode of Sweden in Focus, we speak to the Social Democratic former education minister Anna Ekström about Nordic 'folk high schools', budget cuts to study associations, worsening segregation in Sweden's schools, why boys are underperforming, and whether Sweden needs more external grading.In Saturday's episode, the former government minister talked about ‘folkbildning' as a particularly Nordic approach to education. Here we continue the conversation as Anna Ekström talks about her roles within the ABF study association, the history of the wider folkbildning movement, and the challenges faced today by the Swedish education system. Host Paul O'Mahony is also joined by The Local's James Savage and Becky Waterton.Here are links to some related stories, starting with Richard Orange‘s recent article on his own experience with the ABF study association:Why Sweden should protect its fantastic popular education organisationsBudget cuts to folkbildningSweden still ‘a land of possibilities' for foreigners says finance ministerSchool segregation LISTEN: How can Sweden make its schools less segregated?ARCHIVE: What's behind the rising inequality in Sweden's schools, and can it be fixed?

Seven years before the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision ended the legal segregation of Black schoolchildren, California ended the legal segregation of Mexican American schoolchildren. That decision, known as Mendez v. Westminster, had a rapid impact across the state and led to significant educational benefits, according to a paper in the Journal Economic Literature. Authors Francisca M. Antman and Kalena E. Cortes found that in areas more likely to practice segregation, the Mendez decision caused Mexican American children to significantly increase their years of schooling. Antman recently spoke with Tyler Smith about the history of Mexican American school desegregation and the lessons the authors' work provides for policymakers.

And if enough people don't know about them, don't believe in them, don't support them — in short, if they lack BUZZ — they suffer and die.
It's February 3, 1964, in New York City, and time is up. An umbrella of civil rights organizations — the Congress of Racial Equality, or CORE, the New York Urban League and the NAACP — have patiently negotiated and waited… and waited for the Board of Education to submit a thorough plan to integrate the city's segregated schools. But the plan that comes forward in the 11th hour is weak: no timetable, no serious commitment to change the status quo. So, close to half a million students stage a one-day school boycott. They call it Freedom Day. It's the largest single demonstration of the Civil Rights era, almost twice the size of the March on Washington. And it's rarely taught or talked about these days.What prompted the protest? How was northern integration activism received in that era? Hear about it from the boycott's lead organizer, Reverend Milton Galamison. This episode includes excerpts of a speech he delivered a month after the boycott, on March 5, 1964.

The importance of an entirely educated population is a belief system barely around 100 years old now. With that always comes a clear division in understanding of how and what is best. Because of this we have public schools, private schools, boarding schools, and charter schools. But what is a charter school? How does it differ from any of these other categories that it seems like we're all well acquainted with and is it better?ReferencesDigest of Education Statistics.

By many accounts, American schools are as segregated today as they were in the nineteen-sixties, in the years after Brown v. Board of Education. WNYC’s podcast “The United States of Anxiety” chronicled the efforts of one small school district, Sausalito Marin City Schools, in California, to desegregate. Fifty years after parents and educators there first attempted integration, the state’s attorney general found that the district “knowingly and intentionally” maintained a segregated system, violating the equal-protection clause of the Constitution. The district’s older public school, which served mostly Black and Latino students, suffered neglect; meanwhile, a new charter school, though racially diverse, enrolled virtually all the white children in the district. The reporter Marianne McCune explored how one community overcame decades of distrust to finally integrate. This episode was edited from “The United States of Anxiety” ’s “Two Schools in Marin County” and “Desegregation by Any Means Necessary.”

Students who reside in federally subsidized housing can face significantly higher levels of racial and economic isolation in school, according to a new study. The study, coauthored by Jennifer Holme (University of Texas at Austin) and Erica Frankenberg (Penn State University), examined attendance zones and school composition across four large counties in Texas. Their team found that public housing and Low Income Housing Tax Credit-financed housing were predominantly zoned to racially and economically isolated schools, and that developments were associated with especially high levels of economic and racial isolation for Black and Latinx students. Holme and Frankenberg join CPRE Knowledge Hub managing editor Keith Heumiller to discuss those and other findings, and some important implications for stakeholders across the country.

In 1972, Alabama Governor George Wallace ran for president and tapped into a strain of white resentment towards Civil Rights legislation and court-mandated bussing. When he was shot on the campaign trail, President Nixon saw an opportunity to derail Wallace’s surging political momentum and embarrass the Democratic Party.

Student activists Coco Rhum and Hebh Jamal describe what real integration of NYC schools would look like and how to achieve it. Bringing sharp analysis and insight from their experiences as leaders in IntegrateNYC and Teens Take Charge, they were interviewed by Lev Moscow on our sister podcast, acorrectionpodcast.com.
This is an encore. We interview Lev Moscow who, for the last 14 years, has taught history and economics at The Beacon School in New York City. Lev reflects that advisory, done well, can serve as a venue for students to explore questions of ethics, purpose and happiness. He talks about balancing the history curriculum to include non-European perspectives. Getting students to read more than a few sentences is perhaps today’s teachers’ greatest challenge and Lev explains his approach.
Matthew Schneeman, Theresa Robbinson, and Jasmin Smith discuss Starbucks, and how to compete with it; protests against segregation in NYC schools; the First Amendment and racist tweets at a university; purple protests in France and domestic violence; Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's indictment on fraud charges; and a story on the search for a new kidney.
We're joined by Dr. Kfir Mordechay, Assistant Professor at Pepperdine University and a research fellow at the UCLA Civil Rights Project to talk about gentrification and school segregation. This kick of to season 5 is a return to our usual podcast format of casual conversations, and this is one we've been wanting to tackle for quite some time. Gentrification comes up in discussions of school segregation all the time and we are fortunate to have Dr. Mordechay to help us think about the possibilities and pitfalls.Join our Patreon to support this work, and connect with us and other listeners to discuss these issues even further.

If many of you are still wondering WHY evangelicals have easily bought into Trumps message of "RACISM", this episode will give you your answer. One of the building-blocks of the religious-right movement was NOT-JUST-ABORTION, but it was SCHOOL SEGREGATION. In This monumental edition, we will present audio from a lecture by renown scholar Randall Balmer who exposed the TRUE-DARK-ROOTS of the EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN-POLITICAL MOVEMENT.*THIS EPISODE IS ONLY AVAILABLE ON OUR SPREAKER "ON-DEMAND" PAGE.
Laura Meckler examines what school segregation looks like today. Heather Long on the minority women changing the makeup of the U.S. workforce. And Nick Miroff explains the Supreme Court’s move on a Trump administration asylum policy.
Today, we’re going to be sharing some reports with you, such as this one released just this year by the Southern Poverty Law Center, titled “Hate at School”. Teachers told SPLC in informal surveys that in many cases, Trump’s name was being invoked or his words parroted by children who were harassing others based on race, their ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation. They noted a disturbing uptake in incidence involving swastikas, derogatory language, nazi salutes, and confederate flags. Children of color reported that they were worried for themselves and for the safety of their families. Today’s discussion involves the perpetuation of hate, when it comes to school, and why your school and others are still segregated. Hang on to your seat, this is going to be a bumpy ride! Show Highlights: Misasha shares a personal experience involving her young son’s questions about Trump and the dilemma, upon reflection, of trying to answer her son’s questions honestly. Sara and Misasha discuss the Southern Poverty Law Center’s 2019 Report on “Hate at School”. In Wisconsin, dozens of male high school students, almost all white, were seen giving a nazi salute in a prom photo. In Idaho, elementary school staff dressed up as Mexicans and Trump’s wall on Halloween. At an elite private school in New York City, a video went viral involving two 6th grade girls wearing black faces and swinging their arms around like apes. In New York, a middle school student wrote in a text book that he will lynch the black husband of a white teacher. In Illinois, white elementary students called black students apes and monkeys. In Minnesota, a middle school student tells a Latinx child that his mother should be in jail with all the illegal immigrants. In Massachusetts, a 10 year old Muslim girl receives a note saying, “You’re a terrorist. I will kill you.” In Oklahoma, a 5th grader draws a swastika and writes, “White Power” on his hand. Intention doesn’t matter, but impact does. If the things you say have an impact and hurt your targets, then it doesn’t matter whether you made the comments out of ignorance or you made them out of hatred. It’s not always easy to recognize that what comes out of your mouth may hurt somebody, so we need to continue to educate ourselves over things that we can say to hurt others unwittingly. When you accidentally hurt someone, you apologize, and learn from that, and you’re more careful next time. Study by Daniel L. Ames and Susan T. Fiske illustrates the psychological impact of intent. Participants in the study read about a CEO who cost the employees part of their paychecks through a bad investment. In one scenario, it was said that the CEO intentionally wanted the employees to work harder for a profit in the future. In the second scenario, it was said that the CEO simply made a bad investment, it was an unfortunate mistake. Participants saw the paycheck cut as more damaging to employees and their families in the former scenario, even though the employees suffered the exact same objective financial loss. In a series of similar studies, it was consistently shown that people are more motivated to assign blame when a harmful act is seen as intentional. SPLC documented 821 school-based incidents of hate that were reported to the media in 2018. By comparison, in their study of K-12 educators who responded to a specific questionnaire that they passed out, over 3,000 such incidences were reported in 2018 alone. More than 2/3 of the 3,000 educators who responded to the questionnaire witnessed a hate or biased incident in their school during the fall of 2018. Fewer than 5% of the incidents witnessed by educators were actually reported in the news. Racism appeared to be the motivation behind most hate and biased incidents in school, accounting for 63% of incidents reported in the news, and 33% of incidents reported by teachers. Out of the incidents reported by educators, those involving racism and anti-Semitism were the most likely to be reported in the news media. Anti-Latinx and anti-LGBTQ incidents were the least likely to be reported in the news media. Most of the hate and biased incidents witnessed by the educators were not addressed by school leaders. No-one was disciplined in 57% of the instances. 9 times out of 10, administrators failed to denounce the bias, and they failed to reaffirm school values. To ensure that students are safe from harm, SPLC recommends that educators must take vigorous, pro-active measures to counter prejudice, and to promote equity and inclusiveness. Educators must act swiftly and decisively to address all incidents of hate and bias when they happen, with a model that emphasizes communication, empathy, reconciliation, and support to those who are harmed. May 17th marked the 65th anniversary of the landmark Brown v Board of Education case, where the Court ruled that laws establishing racial segregation in public schools are unconstitutional. Misasha provides historical details on the Brown v Board of Education case and explains “De facto” segregation - More recent forms of school segregation that are supported by alternative mechanisms, which are slightly more difficult to regulate through law: or segregation that happens as a matter of fact. In a recent New York Times article, more than half of the nation’s school children are in racially-concentrated districts, where over 75% of students are either white or non-white. School districts are often separated by income. Case Study: Central High School in Tuscaloosa, Alabama in the late 70’s was not just a renowned local high school, but it was one of the signature integration success stories. In 2000, another Federal Judge reversed the desegregation mandate that had been in place for the last 20 years didn’t need to be in place anymore because it had achieved integration success and the school could manage that going forward. Civil Rights Project 2011 Report statistics are discussed. What is the difference between desegregation versus sincere and internally motivated integration? 96% of major employers say it’s important to be comfortable working with colleagues, customers, and / or clients from diverse, cultural backgrounds. How private schools have gotten around the “De facto” segregation. Questions we need to ask ourselves and taking a closer look at our school districts.

May 17 marks the 65th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education, the 1954 Supreme Court case that declared state laws enforcing racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional. Yet more than six decades later, segregation in some public school systems is worse than ever. Dr. Ansley Erickson, associate professor of history and education at Columbia University's Teacher College, joins At Liberty to discuss Brown’s legacy and why desegregation has been so hard to achieve.

John King served in President Barack Obama’s cabinet as the 10th U.S. Secretary of Education. Secretary King is one of the most prominent voices on the connections between housing policy and education policy, particularly with respect to pervasive socioeconomic and racial segregation. We sat down with Secretary King in Los Angeles to discuss the state of modern-day school and housing segregation, why he prioritized integration while in office, promising practices on both the education and housing fronts, and why education advocates must also be housing advocates. “As citizens, we need to be engaged on the issues that affect the kids and families that we serve,” said Secretary King. “We have to be engaged on housing…We have a responsibility as educators to be engaged across a range of issues.” Intro/Closing Song: Free Music Library, YouTube, “Clover 3” URL: www.youtube.com/audiolibrary
Why do we summarize things into ‘tweet length versions’? It requires the flattening of nuance and personality and information that we need to talk about complicated things. Whether it’s the 280 characters of a tweet or a clickbait headline, we’re trafficking in hollowed out means of communicating that lack space for depth and complexity. While society is in a crucial moment of trying to figure out how to communicate with folks from different backgrounds about their own identities, we aren’t going to get anywhere talking in ‘tweet length versions’. What we need are ‘thick descriptions’, which Tressie McMillan Cottom is a purveyor of.

This week we talk about Brown v. Board of Education, HBCUs and desegregation as a whole!
Why are American schools resegregating? Over 60 years since the Brown v. Board of Education ruling forced schools to integrate, the nation is witnessing schools become increasingly segregated. So how did we get to this point? Nikole Hannah-Jones has firsthand knowledge of the system. Beginning in second grade, she was bussed to a wealthy, majority white school as part of a desegregation initiative in her home town. Now, she’s an award-winning investigative reporter writing for The New York Times magazine, doing extensive work on school segregation. In this episode Nikole Hannah-Jones explains why we continue to see segregation in the classroom and how, if at all, the education system can truly desegregate.Read more at NBCNews.com/WhyIsThisHappening

U.S. Supreme Court orders an immediate end to school segregation. In 1954, the Supreme Court of the United States made it clear that schools segregating blacks from whites were in the wrong. In the famous case of Brown v. Board of Education, Chief Justice Earl Warren said, “We conclude that in the field of public education, the doctrine of ‘separate but equal’ has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.” But the American South dragged its heels over integrating its schools, which eventually brought Alexander v. Holmes County Board of Education before the court. On October 29, 1969, Supreme Court justices ruled that 33 Mississippi school districts had to act promptly on integration plans. Where earlier, the federal government and an appeals court had allowed delays, the Supreme Court stated emphatically that schools must complete the desegregation process immediately. President Richard Nixon followed up the court’s declaration by promising that he and his government would support and enforce the decision. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Almost 30 years before Linda Brown and her parents took on the Topeka Board of Education in Brown v. Board of Education, Martha Lum's parents Jeu Gong and Katherine sued to try to stop Rosedale, Mississippi, from barring their Chinese-American children from the local "white" school. Their case, Gong Lum v. Rice, made it to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1927, but rather than granting them relief, the unanimous Supreme Court decision led to even stricter school segregation. For this episode of the Modern Law Library, in honor of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, the ABA Journal's Lee Rawles discusses this little known chapter of history with Adrienne Berard. Berard is the author of “Water Tossing Boulders: How a Family of Chinese Immigrants Led the First Fight to Desegregate Schools in the Jim Crow South.” Berard discusses the bravery of the family's decision, and the complicated state of race relations in 1920s Mississippi in which the debate over whether the "colored" category applied to Asian Americans took place. We also discuss Earl Brewer, a former governor of Mississippi, who took the Lums' case in a bid to regain his reputation, and how the immigration debates of the early 20th century have ugly echoes in today's political environment.

Historian Matthew Delmont discusses the controversy over school desegregation in the 1960s and 70s and how it was reduced by the media and politicians to the frame of “busing” students. He reflects on the political implications of turning civil rights and segregation in the North into the narrow issue of school transfers. Resources: Matthew F.

Nikole Hannah-Jones covers civil rights for The New York Times Magazine. “I don’t think there’s any beat you can cover in America that race is not intertwined with—environment, politics, business, housing, you name it. So, whatever beat you put me on, this is what I was going to cover because I think it’s just intrinsic. If you’re not being blind to what’s on your beat, then it’s part of the beat.” Thanks to MailChimp's Freddie and Co., Audible, and Trunk Club for sponsoring this week's episode.

Racially-segregated schools are illegal, but US public schools are steadily re-segregating on their own.
May 17 marked the 62nd anniversary of Brown v. The Board of Education, the monumental Supreme Court decision that was supposed to put an end to segregation in schools. However, just last week, the federal government had to force a school district in Mississippi to desegregate their schools. This Sunday, we will discuss this landmark court case and see what progress we have made in our education system.
Enid Rey is no stranger to controversy. A powerhouse and a lawyer by training, she's currently the head of the School Choice Department in Hartford, Connecticut's public school system. In a city like Hartford, where most people of socioeconomic background and race don’t mix neighborhoods, Rey’s job has been, at least recently, to market magnet schools to parents and students from both neighborhoods, encouraging them to integrate. Her responsibilities came to prominence when she was interviewed for the Peabody award-winning podcast "The Problem We All Live With," created by This American Life. When it comes to issues of equity and diversity, it’s everyone’s problem—like the title says, it’s a problem that we all live with. EdSurge had the opportunity to sit down with Rey at the recent NewSchools Venture Fund conference to hear how she proved innovative in her approach to segregation, and to ask what it really takes to turn efforts in one district into a viral movement.
Listen to the accounts of what it was like to attend Austin's public schools before 1950 from the memories of the students themselves.
