#sschat Q3/A1 So often the stories told about school desegregation focus on one or two court cases, and not on the diverse experiences of children and the struggle for civil rights over a long period of time.
#sschat Q3/A3 We love Remember: The Journey to School Integration by Toni Morrison for learning more about this history. Check out the C-span talk (c-span.org/video/?181729-1/r…) and the picture book with great primary sources: google.com/books/edition/Rem…
