TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - School segregation and its discontents: chaos and community in post-civil rights Memphis JO - Urban education A1 - Rushing, Wanda SP - 3 EP - 31 VL - 52 IS - 1 N2 - Few policies have affected American society as deeply as those related to the landmark 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision, Brown v. Board of Education. Now, 60 years later, segregation persists along race and class divisions. This case study analysis of a merger that took place between 2010 and 2013 in Memphis and Shelby County, Tennessee, one of the most politically contentious ones undertaken in the post-civil rights era, reveals a great deal about processes that sustain patterns of inequality. A new generation of Memphis leaders gives its perspective on education, social equality, and the future.
