An acclaimed economist reveals that school integration efforts in the 1970s and 1980s were overwhelmingly successful and argues that we must renew our commitment to integration for the sake of all AmericansWe are frequently told that school integration was a social experiment doomed from the start. But as Rucker C. Johnson demonstrates in Children of the Dream, it was, in fact, a spectacular achievement. Drawing on longitudinal studies going back to the 1960s, he shows that students who attended integrated and wellfunded schools were more successful in life than those who did not and this held true for children of all races.Yet as a society we have given up on integration. Since the high point of integration in 1988, we have regressed and segregation again prevails. Contending that integrated, wellfunded schools are the primary engine of social mobility, Children of the Dream offers a radical new take on social policy. It is essential reading in our divided times.
