School Colors

• 1994 ----- color ----- 143 min ----- vhs
• (Frontline series) Gives a first-hand look at the events, relationships, and conflicts at Berkeley High School in California, a large, multicultural, urban school. Focuses on teachers, students and parents struggling with the question of whether diversity will enrich American society or tear it apart. Examines how sharply segregated along color lines our public schools remain forty years after Brown v Board of Education. The documentary is developed in three acts that explore segregation in the classroom, the social segregation of the student body, and finally, the school's efforts to achieve greater racial equity and harmony.
• Topics: (Adolescence, American Ethnic Studies, Community Life, Discrimination, Education, Sociology)
