Vanessa Siddle Walker, a professor at Emory University, has studied the segregated schooling of African American children for more than twenty years. She is the president of the American Educational Research Association, a member of the National Academy of Education, a former Spencer fellow, and a recipient of the prestigious Grawemeyer Award in education. The author of The Lost Education of Horace Tate (The New Press), she lives near Atlanta.
Walker’s extensively documented work is a much–needed corrective contextualizing the landscape of school desegregation; required reading for those interested in the past, present, and future of education of African American children.
