The Silk Stocking Sisters

Welcome to another episode of The Silk Stocking Sisters Podcast. In this episode, we take a moment to provide an update and share what’s ahead. Many of our conversations have been inspired by the stories and research in Dr. Canada’s book, Desegregation of the New York City Schools: A Story of the Silk Stocking Sisters. As we close out the season, the final episodes will focus on the history of Dr. Canada’s elementary school experience during the desegregation experiment of the 1960s, highlighting both the school she left and the one she attended.

We will explore the importance of friendship as a key support system for children navigating school and change. Moving forward, the podcast will continue to center equity by highlighting the importance of support, representation, access, and resources in education and beyond.
