Local author Alexandra Freidus launches Unequal Lessons, diving deep into the roots of racial inequality in diversifying schools in New York City.

Though educators and advocates often focus on diversity out of a real desire to make a positive difference in students’ lives, Unequal Lessons makes clear the gaps between good intentions and educational injustice. By drawing on students’ first-hand experiences, Unequal Lessons asks how we can better understand both the opportunities and the limits of school diversity and integration.

Max Freedman, co-creator and co-host of School Colors, joins Freidus for an in-depth discussion on the book, before an audience Q&A and signing. Wine reception to follow.

Greenlight Bookstore in Fort Greene on August 6 at 7:30pm (RSVP here)
