Unfinished Business: Closing the Racial Achievement Gap in Our Schools

Unfinished Business examines the results of the Berkeley High School Diversity Project, a six-year research and organizing project that brought together high school students, parents, teachers, staff, and university researchers to explore how a school and a community can act together to address the racial disparities that exist in academic performance. The book explores what factors contribute to the disparity in academic achievement between students of different racial and class backgrounds, and identifies the factors that are responsible for the racial separation of students within the school.
