Jonathan Kozol brings his message of "apartheid schooling in America" targeting African-American and Hispanic children at 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 11 to the Sonoma State University's Evert B. Person Theatre. It is the first in a series of thought-provoking discussions from the Andrea Neves and Barton Evans Social Justice Lecture Series.
Local educators, students and parents are invited to this special lecture by one of America's most respected educational activists.
Kozol will discuss the issues in his new book, The Shame of the Nation." His new work has been described as "a triumph of first-hand reporting that pays tribute to those undefeated educators who persist against the odds, but directly challenge the chilling practices now being forced upon our urban systems..."
Interviews and digital photos of Kozol are available upon request. For further information, contact Jean Wasp, Media Relations Coordinator, (707) 664-2057.
