Brown v. Board, 50 Years Later

Our series on the legacy of the Brown v. Board of Education decision continues. NPR's Claudio Sanchez reports from a Los Angeles high school where virtually all of the students are Latino. The question at Roosevelt High is often whether that statistic is a result of economics or race.
