Vocabulary Builder- The book as a whole

Since we've already gone over the chapters in search of vocab words, I decided to use an article instead. The article I found is titled "School Desegregation Battle: A Thing of the Past . . . and the Present." Click here to read it.

Curtis, Mary C. “School Desegregation Battle: A Thing of the Past . . . and the Present.” AOL.com: Politics Daily Feb. 2011. Web. 15 May 2011.

I really like how this article discusses the Brown v. Board of Education decision and links it to American school systems today. Curtis writes that segregation in today's inner city schools has as much to do with economics as it does with race and that conflicts of segregation that existed over fifty years ago can still be witnessed today.
