In this important volume, leading scholars take an honest look at the progress made since "Brown v. Board of Education." Critical and forward-looking chapters document the shifts over time on key aspects of education, including school segregation, achievement trends in relation to policies and practices, the diversity of the teaching force, access to resources, the role of Black scholars and community activism, and the relationship between democracy and education. The volume offers wide-ranging historical analysis, as well as guidance for the road ahead--promising policies, practices, and directions to usher in a new era where we truly attend to the educational needs of all students.
