Education
More than 50 years after Brown v. Board of Education, many students of color continue to struggle in inadequate schools. The Racial Justice Program supports affirmative action, school integration, the improvement and equalization of educational programs and facilities, and other initiatives that help ensure high-quality education for all students. Our school-to-prison pipeline work challenges policies and practices in public schools that channel primarily minority students out of schools and into the criminal justice systems.
