Joe Bishop examines the history of the Civil Rights Movement and education with educators, policymakers and activists Arnold Fege and John Jackson.
Both Chicago natives explain how the city shaped their view on policymaking. From a young age, they both were exposed to the inequities that exists based on one's zip code and the lack of resource equity between the different parts of the city and its suburbs.
How did the civil rights movement shape education policy in America? Does the ruling of Brown vs. Board still impact housing and employment today?
Special Guests: Arnold F. Fege is the president of Public Advocacy for Kids, a Washington, DC based organization focused solely on federal and national public education and child advocacy based on the intersection of research and practice and raising the voices of minority and low-come parents and students. Fege brings over 40 years of public and non-profit experience as a teacher, principal, director of desegregation, staff assistant to Senator Robert F Kennedy, AP Vietnam war reporter, governmental relations director for the National PTA, and director of advocacy for the Public Education Network to issues of equity, diversity, inclusion, power and voice.
John H. Jackson, Ed.D. is President and CEO of the Schott Foundation for Public Education- a public foundation focused on resourcing racial and education justice organizations and campaigns. He is a former lecturer of Race, Gender and Public Policy at the Georgetown Public Policy Institute and a Senior Policy Advisor in the Office for Civil Rights at the US Department of Education.
