In this episode of The Silk Stocking Sisters Podcast, we take a moment to pause, reflect, and revisit the insightful conversations that have shaped our journey so far. Inspired by the stories and research in my book, Silk Stocking Sisters: Desegregation in New York City Schools, this podcast was created to educate, inform, and spark dialogue around Americas complex racial history, particularly the often overlooked realities of school desegregation.
Throughout our episodes, we've explored pivotal topics such as Boston's school desegregation efforts, the critical role of teacher representation, the lasting impact of the Sheff v. O'Neill case, increasing diversity in suburban Cincinnati, the essential role of parental advocacy, and the debates surrounding school choice. The challenges and inequities of the past remain deeply relevant in our present, and our mission remains clear: to connect the past to the present in order to shape a more equitable future.
Looking ahead, we will continue to center equity in every conversation, highlighting the importance of access, representation, and resources in education and beyond. We aim to foster dialogue that inspires change and encourages understanding across racial and ethnic lines.
Thank you to all our special guests and our listeners. Join us as we continue to explore the challenges, triumphs, and lasting impact of desegregation in the North. Remember to subscribe to The Silk Stocking Sisters Podcast on the ALIVE Podcast Network app for more episodes!Popular Podcasts

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
