Hello everybody, my name is Jonathan Myers, and welcome to my portfolio. For my project 2, I produced a podcast on racial discrimination in the education system of the United States. I hope that you find the sources I acquired in my research informative and interesting. The U.S. education system has a checkered history in the terms of racial discrimination. From the African Free School, founded by members of the New York Manumission Society including Alexander Hamilton and John Jay in the year 1787, until the Supreme Court ruling of Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, the United States had segregated schools for blacks and whites. After the ruling of Brown, schools began to integrate; however, it was anything but seamless. There were violent protests attended by teachers, and parents of the white students outside of the schools. It was chaos. Today, the issue has decreased from violence. There is still marginal segregation in schools today, but it falls within the stipulations of the law. I have found many interesting scholarly perspectives related to this topic, and I encourage you to listen to, and digest the relevant information within my podcast. Enjoy!
