Southwest Florida leaders reflect on the unintended consequences of school desegregation.

66 years after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision known as Brown v. Board of Education knocked down the decades-old policy of “separate but equal” which allowed school districts to segregate students by race, members of Southwest Florida’s Black community reflect on the enduring impacts to both children and their communities.
