All Sides with Ann Fisher - 10:00 AM - Separate and Unequal: The State of School Segregation
 
Play
 
Sixty years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court outlawed school segregation with its landmark case Brown v. Board of Education. But a new report finds those gains have been gradually rolled back. We'll talk about a new documentary chronicling the re-segregation of public schools, and take a look at the failed integration in Columbus districts.

Guests:

Mary Robertson, producer and writer of FRONTLINE's Separate and Unequal and Omarina's Story
Nikole Hannah-Jones, investigative reporter for ProPublica
Greg Jacobs, filmmaker and author of Getting Around Brown: Desegregation, Development, and the Columbus Public Schools
Erica Frankenberg, professor of education policy at Penn State, co-author of report Brown at 60: Great Progress, a Long Retreat and an Uncertain Future.
