BLOOD ON THE TRACKS: WHY ARE THERE SO FEW BLACK STUDENTS IN OUR SCIENCE CLASSES?, BY AMY LINDAHL
SHAKER HEIGHTS, Ohio — If any place can navigate the complex issues of race in America, it’s Shaker Heights.

The school district began voluntary busing in 1970, and boundary lines were drawn to make schools more integrated.
Student groups dedicated themselves to black achievement, race relations and cross-racial friendship.
