Summary: In the second episode of 'Nice White Parents,' the narrative explores the historical advocacy of white parents in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, for the integration of

the School for International Studies (formerly I.S. 293) in 1963. These parents sought a school closer to their community to promote racial integration, a drive influenced by the ideals set by the Brown v. Board of Education ruling. Despite their initial enthusiasm, five years later, not a single parent enrolled their child at the newly integrated school. Through the lens of various perspectives, including that of May Mallory, the episode critically examines the complexities and contradictions surrounding integration efforts, the ongoing segregation in New York City schools, and the differing motivations between white families and Black parents regarding educational equity.

Shownotes: Chana Joffe-Walt searches the New York City Board of Education archives for more information about the School for International Studies, which was originally called I.S.

293.In the process, she finds a folder of letters written in 1963 by mostly white families in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. They are asking for the board to change the proposed construction of the school to a site where it would be more likely to be racially integrated.It’s less than a decade after Brown v. Board of Education, amid a growing civil rights movement, and the white parents writing letters are emphatic that they want an integrated school. They get their way and the school site changes — but after that, nothing else goes as planned.
