STOLEN SCHOOL confronts the reality that desegregation wasn’t good for everyone.
In 1967, the local school district in Evanston, IL “desegregated” its schools by closing Foster School, the all-Black neighborhood school in the historically Black 5th ward. For nearly 60 years, children who live there have been bussed all across Evanston. Stolen School features the voices and stories of Foster School students, 5th Ward residents, educators, civil servants, and activists who describe their devastating losses and chronicle their ongoing fight to get their school back.
