520			_a"From the time Courtney E. Martin strapped her daughter, Maya, to her chest for long walks, she was curious about Emerson Elementary, a public school down the street from her Oakland home. She learned that White families in their gentrifying neighborhood largely avoided the majority-Black, poorly-rated school. As she began asking why, a journey of a thousand moral miles began. Learning in Public is the story, not just Courtney's journey, but a whole country's. Many of us are newly awakened to the continuing racial injustice all around us, but unsure of how to go beyond hashtags and yard signs to be a part of transforming the country. Courtney discovers that her public school, the foundation of our fragile democracy, is a powerful place to dig deeper. She examines her own fears, assumptions, and conversations with other moms and dads as they navigate school choice. A vivid portrait of integrations virtues and complexities and, yes, the palpable joy of trying to live differently in a country remaking itself, Learning in Public might set your family's life on a different course."--book jacket.
