Education Inequality

Despite desegregation efforts and court intervention, public schools across the nation still reinforce and perpetuate racial inequality, says author and Columbia University Professor Ansley Erickson. She joins us for the Sound of Ideas to discuss her new book, "Making the Unequal Metropolis: School Desegregation and Its Limits." She's joined by local experts who discuss Northeast Ohio's history of segregation.
