In 2007, a court case originally filed in Louisville, Kentucky, was argued before the Supreme Court and officially ended the era of school desegregation - both changing how schools across America handle race and undermining the most important civil rights cases of the last century. Of course, this wasn't the first federal lawsuit to challenge school desegregation. But it was the first - and only - one brought by African Americans.
By reframing how we commonly understand race, education, and the history of desegregation, author Sarah Garland deftly and sensitively tells the stories of the families and individuals who fought for and against desegregation, creating a timely and deeply relevant work in Divided We Fail: The Story of an African American Community That Ended the Era of School Desegregation. Divided We Fail will be an important contribution to the continued struggle toward true racial equality.
