ICYMI: School Colors

<p><a href="http://brooklyndeep.org">Brooklyn Deep</a> is the media arm of <a href="http://brooklynmovementcenter.org/about/">The Brooklyn Movement Center</a>, a Black-led, membership-based organization of primarily low-to-moderate income Central Brooklyn residents. They work to build power and pursue self-determination in Bedford-Stuyvesant & Crown Heights by nurturing local leadership, waging campaigns and winning concrete improvements in people’s lives.</p><p>In 2019, Brooklyn Deep released an 8-part podcast documentary called <a href="https://www.schoolcolorspodcast.com">School Colors</a>.  Spanning 150 years of history, it looks at race, class and power through the schools of Bedford-Stuyvesant.  It features well researched history, compelling story telling, and provides a nuanced look at many of the educational debates happening in cities today (particular credit to Ep 6, <a href="https://www.schoolcolorspodcast.com/episodes/episode-6-mo-charters-mo-problems">Mo' Charters, Mo' Problems</a>, for tackling one of the most heated topics with a nuance that is often lacking).  </p><p>Hosts <a href="https://www.schoolcolorspodcast.com/the-team">Mark Winston Griffith</a> and <a href="https://www.schoolcolorspodcast.com/the-team">Max Freedman</a> join us to discuss the project, and share an edit of<a href="https://www.schoolcolorspodcast.com/episodes/episode-7-new-kids-on-the-block"> Ep 7, New Kids on the Block</a>.  We talk about gentrification, colonization, rallying, and impact versus intent.  If you've been listening to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/30/podcasts/nice-white-parents-serial.html">Nice White Parents</a>, you'll recognize many of the same themes.  </p><p> </p><p><strong>LINKS:</strong></p><ul><li><a><strong>School Colors Podcast</strong></a></li><li><a href="http://brooklyndeep.org">Brooklyn Deep</a></li><li><a href="http://brooklynmovementcenter.org">The Brooklyn Movement Center</a></li></ul><p><a href="http://patreon.com/integratedschools">Join our Patreon</a> to support this work, and co
