Racial Economic Segregation among U.S. Public Schools, 1991-2019 (Poster 19)

Individual and regional differences in the effects of school racial segregation on Black students’ health

“…Relatedly, regions may have differed in between-district segregation, a phenomenon driven by “White flight” to the suburbs in the wake of Brown ( Logan, Zhang, & Oakley, 2017 ). If White flight happened more completely in the North, changes to integration orders governing within-district segregation may have yielded minor changes to families’ incentive structures given the existing extremity of segregation between districts ( Jang, 2022 ; John R. Logan, Oakley, & Stowell, 2008 ). If White flight happened less completely in the South, conversely, ending court-ordered integration within districts would have a larger impact, with potentially stronger pressure from Southern White families towards within-district resegregation.…”

Even children were a threat, and much like the dreams of the First Reconstruction, Brown is yet another dream deferred, as the present-day apartheid continues de facto segregation (Jang, 2022;Reardon et al, 2022). This tragedy is one among many ugly realities that have ushered in a new generation of social justice advocates.…”
