Fixing urban schools: Educating the poor

Article Abstract:

Efforts made by the U.S. federal government and state legislature in the 18th and 19th centuries to provide equal education to the poor, racial minorities and non-English-speaking immigrants are discussed. Racial discrimination affected the education of African-American children, while the influx of immigrants saw overcrowded urban schools struggle to integrate the immigrant children into American life.

Fixing urban schools: Minority schools

Article Abstract:

An increase in immigrants and shifting housing patterns led to concentrations of poor and minority students in urban schools. Judicial and federal authorities initially declared it illegal to intentionally segregate schools by race, but desegregation efforts ended over time, resulting in many segregated minority schools, especially those that educate Latinos.
