About racial inequalities in education. This is live coverage of the southern festival of books. Good afternoon and welcome to the session. The two different stories of the integration process. Its triumphs and failures and to all of you at home watching we say welcome as well. As wel the audience will enjoyoy the talks and will have questions that we are going to save until the end this afternoon. Both of these deal with education. We take a lot of pride in our history. We see ourselves as a progressive Southern City and we also like to present the story as almost a triumphant story. We didnt have the violence of other southern cities and weve chosen to craft that narrative and forget some of the painful parts of the story and we will hear some of the painful parts as well as the successes. Our presenters today hes written a book about the integration of athletics at vanderbilt and it has aof natio tremendous amount i know that you will enjoy his presentationo from another who crossed
