SUMMARY:Educating Milwaukee: How One City’s History of Segregation and Struggle Shaped Its Schools: A Presentation by James K. Nelsen
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Feb. 23\, 2016 at 4 p.m. in the UWM Golda Meir Library\, as UWM alumnus James Nelsen discusses his recent book\, Educating Milwaukee: How One City’s History of Segregation and Struggle Shaped Its Schools\, which traces the origins of the modern school choice movement. \nNelsen follows Milwaukee’s tumultuous education history through three eras–“no choice\,” “forced choice\,” and “school choice.” \nHe details the whole story of Milwaukee’s choice movement through to modern times when Milwaukee families have more schooling options than ever–charter schools\, open enrollment\, state-funded vouchers\, neighborhood schools–and yet Milwaukee’s impoverished African American students still struggle to succeed and stay in school. \nEducating Milwaukee chronicles how competing visions of equity and excellence have played out in one city’s schools in the modern era\, offering both a cautionary tale and a “choice” example. \nThe event is free and open to the public. Accommodations for people with disabilities can be made if requested ahead of time by calling (414) 229-6980. \nThe event is organized by the UWM Archives and UWM History Department. Funding has been generously provided by the Friends of the Golda Meir Library. \n
