Savage Inequalities: Children in America's Schools by Jonathan Kozol
5.0
Jonathan Kozol's Savage Inequalities is a scathing (but beautifully written!) indictment of American education.
It is almost as old as I am (35), but its age really highlights how little progress we have made since this book came out. It underscores how much work we have left to do when it comes to dissolving inequality experienced by marginalized students.
I honestly don't know if I will ever see these gaping holes close in my lifetime, but I will never stop fighting for children and their right to a quality education no matter their family income, their skin color, or their identity.
If they aren't worth fighting for, what is?
