De Facto vs. De Jure Segregation in Public Schools

Welcome to another episode of The Silk Stocking Sisters podcast! In this thought-provoking discussion, we unpack the concepts of de facto and de jure segregation, focusing specifically on how they manifested in public schools. We continue to explore the differences in desegregation efforts between the North and the South, and raise a critical question: Is de facto segregation truly unintentional?

We're joined by special guest Judge John W. Carter, who shares legal insights and personal stories. Together, we revisit key cases including Brown v. Board of Education and Dred Scott, reflect on Dr. Kenneth Clarks doll experiment, and challenge the notion of separate but equal.

Tune in for a candid, enlightening conversation linking history to todays education and equality issues. Dont forget to subscribe to the ALIVE Podcast Network for more episodes!
