Event details: Colorblindness in Desegregated Schools
Description
Location: Barrick Museum Auditorium
Prof. Anita Tijerina Revilla, Women’s Studies Department, UNLV
With the fiftieth anniversary of the 1954 Supreme Court ruling that outlawed de jure segregation, Brown v. Board of Education, educators and others contemplated the lasting value of public policies that flowed from the landmark decision. Drawing upon her research for Both Sides Now: The Story of School Desegregation's Graduates (2008), our speaker this evening opens a perspective onto the lives of the Class of 1980, high-school graduates from various ethnic backgrounds, as they recall what desegregation has meant to them personally and professionally. How has the colorblind ideology of American schooling benefited the fabric of the nation? Our presentation this evening provides eloquent answers.
