Welcome to another episode of The Silk Stocking Sisters podcast. In this episode, we pause to reflect on our journey and examine the historical relevance of each conversation we've had so far. This podcast was inspired by the powerful narratives explored in my book, Desegregation of the New York City Schools: A Story of the Silk Stocking Sisters. My goal has been to educate, inform, and spark meaningful conversations about America's racial history, specifically, the often overlooked realities of school desegregation.

One of my students once shared that they had no idea desegregation occurred in the North. That moment became the catalyst for launching this podcast. It continues to drive my passion for educating others and sharing the often untold stories behind the fight for educational equity.

We want to thank all of our special guests. Were grateful to the educators, activists, journalists, legal professionals, etc. who have joined us to share their experiences. Through their stories, weve been able to honor historical truths and explore the human side of this complex history.

Join us as we continue to explore the challenges, triumphs, and lasting impact of desegregation in the North versus the South. Remember to subscribe to The Silk Stocking Sisters podcast on the ALIVE Podcast Network app for more episodes!
