Heard & Heard-Garris explore present-day segregation in public schools in this episode of Flesh 'N Bold. Are schools more or less segregated now or in the years after Brown v. Board? Which states and regions have the most school segregation? And what drives segregation in schools? Take a listen, and think about working on equity issues close to home.
