School Colors is a podcast that focuses on District 16 schools in Brooklyn and while I don't agree with many of their conclusions, I still believe it is an interesting listen.
The podcast has eight episodes and follows a chronology. It starts with the Ocean Hill-Brownsville experiment that resulted in the longest teacher strike in NYC history and ends with the attempted integration of Bedford-Stuyvesant. The episodes are as follows"
Episode 1: Old School
Episode 2: Power to the People
Episode 3: Third Strike
Episode 4 Agitate! Educate! Organize!
Episode 5 The Disappearing District
Episode 6 Mo' Charters, Mo' Problems
Episode 7 New Kids on the Block
Episode 8 On the Move
Interview: Night at the Library
I believe that no matter what side you are on the podcast is a must listen.
