But as Rucker C. Johnson demonstrates in \u003ci\u003eChildren of the Dream\u003c\/i\u003e, it was, in fact, a spectacular achievement. Drawing on longitudinal studies going back to the 1960s, he shows that students who attended integrated and well-funded schools were more successful in life than those who did not -- and this held true for children of all races.\u003cbr\u003eYet as a society we have given up on integration. Since the high point of integration in 1988, we have regressed and segregation again prevails. Contending that integrated, well-funded schools are the primary engine of social mobility, \u003ci\u003eChildren of the Dream\u003c\/i\u003e offers a radical new take on social policy. It is essential reading in our divided times. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRucker C.
