Story of School Part 3

Riley Chickering
Story of School Part 3

This video really dives into the issue of seperate but equal. It looks at how children of minority during this time were afforded the opportunity to go to public schools, but they were all minority schools which had very limited funding. This makes me think about todays education as well because I think that even though our schools aren't segregated, they really are because you still see a lot of seperation between white and black neighborhoods. I looked it up and found a stat that says most black children go to schools where there are less than 30% white students, meaning that they still basically go to all black schools. I think it's definitely an interesting problem but I'm not really sure how you solve it when no laws are actually being broken.
