Still Separate, Still Unequal
America's Educational Apartheid
by Jonathan Kozol
"Sad truth"
"Many Americans who live far from our major cities and have no firsthand knowledge of the realities to be found in urban public schools seem to have the rather vague and general impression that the great extremes of racial isolation that were matters of grave national significance"
"how deeply isolated children in the poorest and most segregated sections of these cities have become"
"One of the most disheartening experiences for those who grew up in the years when Martin Luther King Jr. and Thurgood Marshall were alive is to visit public schools today that bear their names ... to find out how many of these schools are bastions of contemporary segregation"
