BvB@67 - Amanda Lewis Revisited

<p>Dr. Amanda Lewis (<a href="https://bookshop.org/a/18658/9780190669829">Despite the Best Intentions: How Racial Inequality Thrives in Good Schools</a>, co-authored with <a href="https://elpa.education.wisc.edu/elpa/people/faculty-and-staff-directory/john-diamond">John Diamond</a>) joins us for this third episode of our <i>Brown v. Board at 67: The Stories We Tell Ourselves</i> series. <a href="https://soc.uic.edu/profiles/amanda-lewis/">Dr. Lewis’s</a> research takes her to a school that is desegregated on paper but segregated within the building. It is a school, like many, with “race neutral” policies that hide the very real racialized practices in the building. Add to that a dose of opportunity hoarding, and equitable policies become very difficult to institute. Brown v. Board focused on desegregating schools rather than integrating classrooms, but the story we tell about it is that it ended our racist school policies. While that may feel good, our “good intentions” do not absolve us from the impact of our actions.</p><p><strong>LINKS:</strong></p><ul><li>Amanda Lewis <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/18658/9780813532257">Race In The Schoolyard </a></li><li>Karolyn Tyson <a href="https://bookshop.org/a/18658/9780199736454">Integration Interrupted</a></li><li>Charles Tilley on <a href="https://gsdrc.org/document-library/how-to-hoard-opportunities/">Opportunity Hoarding</a></li></ul><p>Register for the Integrated Schools <a href="https://integratedschools.org/book-club/">Book Club </a>in July.  We'll be reading Heather McGhee's <a href="https://bookshop.org/books/the-sum-of-us-what-racism-costs-everyone-and-how-we-can-prosper-together/9780525509561?aid=18658&listref=integrated-schools-bookclub-books" target="_blank"><i>The Sum of Us</i></a></p><p>Use these links or start at our <a href="https://bookshop.org/shop/IntegratedSchools">Bookshop.org storefront</a> to support local bookstores, and send a portion of the proceeds back to us.  </p><p><a href="http://patreon.com/integratedschools" target="_blank"><strong>Jo
