Educational Equality Does it Really Exist?

History continues to bring back many of the same problems with little change, our education system is a prime example. In 1954 when we were bused through U. City to Douglass High School in Webster Groves it seemed to be normal. We accepted this until the U. S. Supreme Court ruled against separate but equal, an we could go to our home school. Mine was Ritenour and only one student went to U. City and others to Chesterfield, Kirkwood, Richmond Heights, Brentwood, Hazelwood and Jennings. We didn't have any say so nor did our parents unless they chose Catholic schools, like Mercy.
Here we are in 2013 still relying on busing to resolve educational inadequacies between Blacks and Caucasians, while the rest of the industrialized world has passed us by. If we continue to fight our home front battles and not work together, recognizing we can all contribute Black and Caucasian, history will continue to be written the same way.
