We interview Dr. Theresa J. Canada, who is a professor in the Education and Educational Psychology Department at Western Connecticut State University. She is the author of "Desegregation of the New York City Schools: A Story of the Silk Stocking Sisters." The book explores the use of young black and brown children to eliminate segregation in an urban public school to meet the challenges of equal education opportunity in the North during the mid-twentieth century.
