Urban Renewal and the Fight for Fair Housing in Ann Arbor

Liberal Talk Not Enough to Change Schools’ Image

Item

Title
Liberal Talk Not Enough to Change Schools’ Image
Description
This article describes the state of educational segregation in Ann Arbor’s primary educational system in the 1980s. Mirroring the history of the school district from almost exactly twenty years prior, the Ann Arbor Board of Education established a Committee on Excellence to reassess how racial disparities continued to pervade the system. Of particular note are the mentions on page 1 of consistent rejections by the Board of proposed racial integration plans and on page 2 of the relationship between ongoing housing disparities and the educational system.
