In his 2005 book, The Shame of the Nation: The Restoration of Apartheid Schooling in America, Kozol issued this challenge to those who fund, build, and oversee mostly African American inner-city schools: "Whether it is inequity alone or deepening resegregation or the labyrinthine intertwining of the two, it is well past the time for us to start the work that it will take to change this."
In September, we dispatched photographer Mitro Hood to explore some of the city's learning environments—the windows, walls, stairwells, ball fields, and playgrounds—to see how they compared to other public facilities, just a few miles away.
