Published: 1
Journal Name or Institutional Affiliation: Johns Hopkins University
Journal Entry: pp. 141-154
Year: 1981
Findings:
- Existence of exclusionary barriers that restrict equal access to opportunities.
- Reasonable to think that school desegregation may be able to interrupt that direct minorities into traditional and less promising directions, and produce a wider range of career choices and opportunities.
- Segregation tends to be perpetuated across stages of the life cycle and across institutions when individuals have not had sustained perceptions of opportunity.
- Reasons to believe that school desegregation may be linked to equal access for minorities to the structural opportunities for adult success!
