Summary

School Desegregation delves into the complex history of integrating American public schools, revealing how the promise of equal opportunity under the Fourteenth Amendment clashed with deeply ingrained racial segregation. This historical analysis examines the legal battles, political strategies, and social transformations that shaped education during the Civil Rights Movement and beyond. The book highlights the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision and the subsequent resistance to desegregation, illustrating that legal victories alone do not guarantee social change. One intriguing aspect explored is the massive resistance movement in the South, where states actively fought against integration efforts. The book takes a chronological and thematic approach, beginning with pre-Brown legal precedents like Plessy v. Ferguson and progressing through the implementation of desegregation policies. It dissects the strategies used to resist integration, including the creation of private academies, and analyzes the federal government's role in enforcing desegregation. The analysis of local school board meeting minutes offers unique insights into the difficulties faced at the local level. Ultimately, the book addresses the persistent achievement gap and contemporary challenges such as re-segregation and school choice, providing a comprehensive understanding of the ongoing struggle for equal education.

    Thomas Paine was born in Great Britain; he came to America at the age of 37 for the first time. He is rightly considered to be the Anglo-American writer, philosopher, publicist, as well as "American godfather" for supporting separatist spirits and inspiring Americans to fight for their independence (at that very moment, the break between America and England was imminent). He described his thoughts in a wonderful tract Common Sense, that according to G. Washington, revolutionized the minds. Later, Thomas Paine's arguments were reflected in The Independence Declaration, written by Jefferson.

    A crucial component of anti-Black racism is the unconscionable disparity in health outcomes between Black and white Americans. Sickening examines this institutionalized inequality through dramatic, concrete events from the past two decades, revealing how unequal living conditions and inadequate medical care have become routine. 
 
 
 
From the spike in chronic disease after Hurricane Katrina to the lack of protection for Black residents during the Flint water crisis—and even the life-threatening childbirth experience for tennis star Serena Williams—author Anne Pollock takes listeners on a journey through the diversity of anti-Black racism operating in healthcare. She goes beneath the surface to deconstruct the structures that make these events possible, including mass incarceration, police brutality, and the hypervisibility of Black athletes' bodies. Ultimately, Sickening shows what these shocking events reveal about the everyday racialization of health in the United States. 
 
 
 
Concluding with an examination of racialized healthcare during the COVID pandemic and the Black Lives Matter rebellions of 2020, Sickening cuts through the mind-numbing statistics to vividly portray healthcare inequalities. In a gripping style, Pollock shows the devastating reality and consequences of systemic racism on the lives and health of Black Americans.
