My Los Angeles in Black and (Almost) White

Provides an exploration of the judicial, legislative, and neighbourhood battles over school desegregation that gripped Los Angeles in the aftermath of Brown v. Board of Education, and that continue to plague the ""post-racial"" US. It accesses a diverse array of opinions on these years and on the current crisis of race and public education by examining landmark judicial decisions, public policy studies, and newspaper articles, and by interviewing key community leaders.
