Abstract
This episode of "Like It Is", aired in 1980, features Holmes Braddock discussing the value of education, desegregation, and racial integration. Braddock emphasizes that education is a holistic process beyond classroom learning and advocates for equal educational opportunities for all races. He speaks of his support for busing and integration as means to break down segregation at the time and believed that genuine integration, where students interact and learn together, was progressing despite challenges. Braddock advocates for maintaining a commitment to law and fairness in desegregation efforts, and emphasizes the importance of respecting individual differences. He also discusses the need for Black and white students to interrelate and understand each other's cultures, opposing the idea of separate Black institutions for K-12 education.
