Report
Seventy years ago, Brown v. Board of Education outlawed racial segregation in public schools. This hour, we look at the historic Supreme Court decision — and some of the inequities that still exist in education today. We speak with the Executive Director of a youth development organization in Hartford working to close education opportunity gaps. And later, we talk about the legacy of Ellen Peters, the first woman appointed Chief Justice of the Connecticut Supreme Court. She wrote the opinion in Sheff v. O’Neill, a landmark school desegregation case here in Connecticut.   GUESTS: Kathy Trusty: Independent historian and children’s author. Andrea Williams: Executive Director, ConnectiKids. Chief Justice Richard A. Robinson: Chief Justice, Connecticut Supreme Court. Richard Palmer: Former Connecticut Supreme Court Justice, Chairman of the state Public Defender Services Commission.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
