The Color Line: Race and Education in the United States - Episode 69 - The Oxford Comment by Oxford Academic (OUP) published on 2022-02-17T00:53:45Z Black History Month celebrates the achievements of a globally marginalized community still fighting for equal representation and opportunity in all areas of life. This includes education. In 1954, the United States’ Supreme Court ruled “separate but equal” unconstitutional for American public schools in "Brown v. Board of Education." While this ruling has been celebrated as a pivotal victory for civil rights, it has not endured without challenge. On today’s episode, we spoke with Zoë Burkholder, author of "An African American Dilemma: A History of School Integration and Civil Rights in the North" and "Color in the Classroom: How American Schools Taught Race, 1900-1954," and Nina M. Yancy, author of the upcoming "How the Color Line Bends: The Geography of White Prejudice in Modern America," examining issues around education, integration, and segregation through their scholarship. In particular, we discussed segregation in northern schools and a recent case study from Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
