Nice White Parents - Ep. 5

Chana has traced the history of the school from its founding and
come to the present. But now: One unexpected last chapter. Last
year, the school district for BHS mandated a change in the zoning
process to ensure all middle schools would be racially
integrated. No longer can white families hoard resources in a few
select schools. Black and Latino parents have been demanding this
change since the late 1950s. The courts have mandated it. Chana
asks: How did this happen? And is this a blueprint for real,
systemic change?
