Integration and Education
Esther explains the Brown vs. Board of Education Supreme Court decision and how it enforced integration of schools. The decision led to bussing, which brought kids from different areas of the city to the same school. However, inner city schools are still usually one ethnicity, and the flight of white privileged to private schools means that many kids don't have the opportunity to know people from other ethnicities. It's better for kids to grow up with different ethnicities and cultures and to know that we're all the same.In this clip
