Institute on Race and Poverty Report on Post-Katrina Public Schools Cited in Huffington Post

An article in the Huffington Post about the impact of Hurricane Katrina six years ago included a reference to a report by the Institute on Race and Poverty (IRP) issued in May 2010, which found that the reorganization of the city's schools has created more segregation between the city's white students and students of color. Professor Myron Orfield is Executive Director of the IRP.
