Overview
Despite the controversy they generated in the 20th Century, school segregation and educational inequality remain largely unresolved social issues. Noguera shares why these topics are not a part of educational reforms today, the costs of ignoring these issues in the U.S., and the real possibilities for change and progress that still exist.
