and latino students are the most segregated in california. and now with the attacks on affirmative action in states, including my own state, unfortunately, including proposition 209 many years ago, and -- in the state of california many minority students are being systematically shut out of public higher education. but let's be clear. even in schools that are well integrated, minority students often are treated differently. as a result from the civil rights data collection survey showed which was recently released by the department of education, it showed that despite making up only 18% of enrollees, african-american students represented 42% of preschool students suspended once. 42% of preschool students suspended once, this is like 4 and 5-year-olds and nearly half of the students suspended more than once. african-american girls were suspended at rates 12% higher than girls of any other race or ethnicity and most boys, black boys, were suspended at higher rates of 20% than girls or boys of any other race or ethnicity. these are kids who are

and they didn't. >> segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever. >> ifill: indeed, thearate but equal debate was far from over. opposition to the ruling was fierce, especially in the south, and anti-integration protests sprang up in communities around the country. but the brown ruling proved to be the turning point that led to the unraveling of jim crow laws, and paved the way for the passage of the civil rights act a decade later. 60 years later, just how far have we come in eliminating segregated education and increasing opportunity? for a deeper look at the many answers to those questions, i'm joined by cheryl brown henderson, whose father along with 12 other topeka parent filed the original suit brought by the naacp. now president of the brown foundation for educational excellency and research. sheryll cashin, georgetown university law school, is the author of "place not race" a vision of opportunity in america. catherine lhamon, assistant secretary of civil rights at the u.s. department of education, and journalist and author ronald brownstein is editorial director

i was happy for the fact that this school wasn't segregated.i hate segregation. >> reporter: 370 6th-12th graders attend this school in what used to be a minority neighborhood. in the last few years, fewer than 1% of the kids were white. the neighborhood changed. it's now predominantly white. so principal jill bloomberg worked to diversify and reached out to local parents. this past year, they welcomed ten white students into their sixth grade class. >> as a system, our schools are incredibly segregated. and i had been sort of hoping that, if you build it, they will come. >> when you're mixed with people, you're mixed with people that can teach you things that you'd never know if everyone was the same. >> reporter: nyah dias is lavion's classmate and friend. >> it's dumb for segregation. we're good friends. i never make fun of her, she never makes fun of me because of our race. >> reporter: in the past 30 years, diversity in our schools has dropped. today, in a classroom of 30, you'll typically find 22 white students and only eight minority stu

a official segregation, legal segregation ended because of the civil rights movement. voting rights act passed in 1965 essentially ushered him if period of inter-racial inter-racial democracy in the deep south which it really hadn't existed in so many of these rural counties. there just weren't any black voters are hardly any. they could vote and participate in the life of their own place. and so they were more free. alabama and that sense became the cradle of their freedom but i think it became the cradle of other people's freedom too, my freedom because it became easier just to be decent, just to treat people like you may be wanted to all along and there was a time that if you were in alabama if you were publicly respectful toward an african-american person you could get both yourself and that person in trouble. it was that hard at times. i'm not saying racism was dead. it certainly was not but it's no longer respectable. you don't have to be afraid to be a person who treats people as human beings regardless of who they are. next robert spencer argues there are radic

schools worse still segregated. the overwhelming number of our schools are segregated. obviously we continue to use racial classifications whenever we profile. the fact that roger was able to say with a straight face that our schools are not segregated, i think, it illustrates the problem. somehow we got from the point where we stop looking at results and started looking at legal niceties to figure out what is going on in real life. what the supreme court did with brown and its progeny is move from a situation where rig was first tried to desegregate schools in tell the effort moved north and west where the supreme court decided as a matter of constitutional doctrine that even though the racial makeup of the school had not changed one iota, meaning it started out of black and ten years later it is still all black all a sudden it magically became desegregated. and there is loss of doctrinal troops the word used to make that happen. .. who are the first persons and their family to go to college in the% eligible for pell grants but not race and ethnicity. is this a good de

mobile had an african-american man and back in the 1920's decided he would take on a segregation and started one of the earliest naacp chapters in the south and quietly went about the business to oppose the of lynching and pursuing a the rights the desegregation of public accommodations and mostly for our negotiation of lawsuits by demonstrations and confrontation there was the few moderates that would meet him partway but that became part of the story although there was a lot below that progress that there was some hard-core segregation. it took awhile for that to play out. and then to get things started. it was the toughest county in terms of its resistance it was the county the montgomery march mostly to please in dallas county and then the next 50 miles before you get to montgomery county. but at the time the march started in 1965, there was no african-american voters at all. 80 percent of the population was black there was no african americans registered to vote he was one of the first zero. there was violence of the detroit housewife that was murdered in the county. but a bit a

segregation is impossible. but it can be done and it does make a major positive difference for students. so to get it started we have to decide where we are and where we want to be as a country. we're in the last generation of a white majority in the united states and we have to prepare the country for a very, very diverse future in which everybody will be part of a minority. and we have to know to how to understand each other and work together in many, many spheres of our society. and it's hard to better than that in segregate -- to learn that in segregated neighborhoods and segregateschools. >> gary brown, where 60 years ago and just an nance. thanks for being here. >> this saturday plarks a big anniversary of the nation's first same-sex marriage. >> i think folks at that particular moment really had no idea that ten years later we would be talking about same sex marriage in a quarter of the country. >> a witness to america's first gay marriages. next, how far marriage equality has come in just one decade. de

think about segregation, actually, statistically being, i guess, better off in terms of segregation?arely. i think -- i mean, there's a lot of important lessons to draw from this. one, part of what happened after the end of legalized segregation or as the barriers begin to fall, very, very slowly it sometimes took ten, 15, 30 years in some places to get meaningful integration. what happened is families that could afford to vote with their feet to simply exit the public school system did. you end up with cities that are maybe half white residents but public school systems in those cities that areal 080% students of color because many of the white families have simply opted out. >> they just opt out. you think about chicago where michelle obama went to school in a school system that by the time all was said and done, was 96% african-american. you have, as you said, white flight out of schools. not just out of neighborhoods. >> often actually not out of neighborhoods. especially as there's been the sexiness of moving back into the urban center. even as families have moved back into the
