In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked realities of school integration in the North. Tune in as we discuss the contrast between northern and southern busing and integration. Our special guest, Professor Anthony Turner, joins us to share his personal story of growing up in Iowa. From his childhood experiences as a student during desegregation to how those moments shaped his academic journey and worldview, Professor Turner offers a raw and reflective look at integration from a northern lens. Join us for this intimate and eye-opening conversation that dives into the emotional, psychological, and social impacts of being thrust into unfamiliar environments during a pivotal moment in American education.
