Southern Feature Editor Johnathan Kozol wrote Sav age Inequalities to expose the ef fects of desegregation upon Afri can American people’s home lives and education. In East St. Louis, as described by Kozol, a new school’s roof is inadequately mounted and sinks into the ground. It is sinking, because this predominantly black neighborhood is frequently flooded with toxic waste from the nearby chemical plants. In addition to toxic waste, this East Sl Louis community takes in the waste from the rich white neighborhood above who’s plumbing fails to function prop erly. Behind the old school of this community in broad daylight, an eleven year old girl was raped and murdered by two grown men who crushed her skull with a brick. Themurderers have not been pros ecuted since police refuse to enter this black neighborhood. These are some of the many effects of desegregation on black people in America which Johnathan Kozol exposes for his readers. Savage Inequalities is an angering collection of painful truths in America’s “land of the free” and equal. History requires us to read of our struggle for de segregation. Now, we can read about its results. ACES speaker impresses students with success formula presentation Yvtte Burton, Banner Repoter “Spread the word all across the nation.
