The post-Brown movement toward racial integration has been fraught with legal, political, and social barriers to change. In recent decades, cities and suburbs alike have been experiencing a trend toward school re-segregation.

This panel will explore those means and ends, as well as the benefits and challenges of teaching a diverse student body.
