SUMMARY:Compromised: The Black Educator's Fight for Equity - Screening
LOCATION:Wesley W. Posvar Hall 4303 - Center for Urban Education\, 230 S B
 ouquet St\, Pittsburgh\, PA 15213
DESCRIPTION:Compromised: The Black Educator's Fight for Equity highlights 
 the overlooked stories and advocacy work of Black educators who drove the
  fight for integration and Brown vs. the Board of Education yet faced dis
 proportionate adverse outcomes relative to their white counterparts as sc
 hool desegregation subsequently occurred absent their participation.\n\nT
 he movement for school integration was an essential force that would driv
 e the broader Civil Rights Movement\, offering the opportunity for Black 
 communities\, including parents\, teachers\, and administrators\, to gath
 er valuable organizing experience. The thought was that by having white a
 nd Black students share the same schools and resources\, that an initial 
 blow could be struck that would lead to the dissolution of American syste
 mic racism. But while the victory of Brown v Board was rightly celebrated
 \, the way that it was implemented\, generally by all-white policy makers
 \, saw Black schools closed\, Black administrators demoted\, Black teache
 rs fired altogether\, and Black students placed in hostile\, traumatic si
 tuations far from their support networks. As white residents increasingly
  fled for the suburbs\, once temporarily integrated schools changed to ha
 ve predominantly Black student populations\, only now the students were w
 ithout anyone in a position of authority who looked like them or shared t
 heir experiences and cultural knowledge.\n\nThe way integration was imple
 mented still reverberates in schools to this day\; through whitewashed \n
