Promoting Equity and Justice Through Integrated Schools and Communities

Jennifer B. Asycue & Erica Frankenberg

Chapter nine details the impact that integrated schools and communities have on creating more equitable opportunities for children from all racial and socioeconomic backgrounds.

“
Schools and communities are interrelated; therefore, a comprehensive and collaborative plan for creating and sustaining integration in both communities and schools is needed. Our country could work toward dismantling some of the racist structures [through policies] that have inequitably distributed access and opportunities to White students and residents while denying students and residents of color the justice deserved.”
