"One of the most disheartening experiences for those who grew up in the years when Martin Luther King Jr. and Thrugood Marshall were alive is to visit public schools... that bear their names, or names of other honored members of the integration struggles and produced the honorary progress that took place in the three decades of Brown V. Board of Education, and find out how many of these schools are bastions of contemporary segregation."
"Even from the start, however, parents from in the neighborhood showed great reluctant to permit their children to enroll at Martin Luther King, and despite "its prime location and its name, which itself creates the highest of expectation," notes the Times, the school before long came to be a destination for black and Hispanic students who could not obtain admission into more successful schools."
"Equality itself- equality alone- is now, it seems, the article of faith to which most principals of inner-city public schools subscribe."
