Retired professor and dean of education at Elon University David Cooper writes: “I am happy to share with you my articles on integration of public schools, The Desegregation Penalty, which is a companion to an earlier piece, Reverse the Curse, both available for reading on the Writing About Our Generation website. Although these stories are historical, I wrote them primarily with a future orientation, addressed to educators and communities who will one day be free from the current distractions swirling around schools, and who are ready to get serious about long overdue racial integration of schools. These articles are offered as a guide for how to do (and not do) integration in a way that provides what we should have been providing all along: high quality education for everybody’s children.”
