A Multiracial Society with Segregated Schools Are We Losing the Dream?
The Resegregation of Southern Schools?
On August 30, 2002, CRP held the above conference on the resegregation of southern schools. Visit our conference page where you will find bios for all speakers who attended the conference, an agenda, and more.
RESEARCH
Metro & Regional Inequalities
CRP has recently focused attention on the structure of economic and social opportunities created by the intersection of housing and education. In May 2002, we published 4 reports in 3 major metropolitan cities (Boston, Chicago, and San Diego) that explore this correlation.
Race in Public Schools What Students Say
On January 29, 2002, we released one of a series of studies on public schools across the nation to determine what students in diverse and segregated schools learn in preparation for adult life and work.
NOTE: The following report has been made available in separate files for easier download. Most of them are in PDF Format, please allow a couple of minutes for them to appear on your screen. Executive Summary
At the beginning of the twenty-first century, American public schools are now twelve years into the process of continuous resegregation. The desegregation of black students, which increased continuously from the l950s to the late l980s, has now receded to levels not seen in three decades. Although the South remains the nation's most integrated region for both blacks and whites, it is the region that is most rapidly going backwards as the courts terminate many major and successful desegregation orders.
This report describes patterns of racial enrollment and segregation in American public schools at the national, regional, state, and district levels for students of all racial groups. Our analysis of the status of school desegregation in 2000 uses the NCES Common Core of Data for 2000-01, which contains data submitted by virtually all U.S. schools to the Department of Education. Additionally, this report examines trends in desegregation and, now, resegregation over the last one-third century.

Sounds like a slow news day led this writer back to the files to find something to make hay about...
