Summary of Quality Education as a Constitutional Right: Creating a Grassroots Movement to Transform Public Schools

"Quality Education as a Constitutional Right: Creating a Grassroots Movement to Transform Public Schools" is a compelling exploration into the transformative power of grassroots movements in the quest for educational equity. Released in February 2008, this book captures a pivotal moment initiated by civil rights leader Robert Parris Moses, who convened a dynamic group of thinkers and activists in 2005 to address the systemic inequities in American education. Through a variety of essays, the contributors, including seasoned organizer Ernesto Cortés and legal scholar Imani Perry, delve into the historical, legal, and practical aspects of advocating for education as a constitutional right. Insightful interviews with the Baltimore Algebra Project students and practical perspectives from educators like Lisa Delpit provide a vivid tableau of what quality education can look like and how it can be achieved. This book is an essential read for middle school students and educators alike, fostering a deeper understanding of the challenges and pathways to achieving educational justice for all.
