| Title: | Desegregation in San Francisco |
| Date: | 1872-1994 |
| Description: | A century-long legal battle to desegregate San Francisco's public schools ended in 1983 with an affirmative action agreement to make all schools equally diverse. But 11 years later, a lawsuit filed by Chinese American parents effectively eliminated race-based admissions policies. This audio excerpt from National Public Radio's All Things Considered captures the voices of students and educators on both sides of the debate. Includes a background essay, discussion questions, and alignments to teaching standards. Major funding for this project is provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Supported in part by a grant from the Open Society Institute. Grade range: 6-12. Lesson plans in Teachers Domain using this resource: Re-examining Brown. The Civil Rights Digital Library received support from a National Leadership Grant for Libraries awarded to the University of Georgia by the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the aggregation and enhancement of partner metadata. |
