The Success of Integrating Schools with Rucker Johnson - In the Living Room with Henry E. Brady

Rucker Johnson, Henry E. Brady

Date Date: April 16, 2019

Duration Duration: 29 minutes

Brown v. Board of Education was hailed as a landmark decision for civil rights. But decades later, many consider school integration a failure. UC Berkeley professor Rucker C. Johnson's new book Children of the Dream shows the exact opposite is true. The book looks at decades of studies to show that students of all races who attended integrated schools fared better than those who did not. In this interview with Goldman School of Public Policy Dean Henry E. Brady, Johnson explains how he and his team analyzed the impact of not just integration, but school funding policies, and the Head Start program.
