About the event
From Sharon,
“I'm pleased to announce my upcoming book, Beautiful Struggle: How One American High School Took On Systemic Racism, University of Chicago Press, Oct 29, 2026.”
"The new superintendent stood before his 'Oakmont High School' faculty and spoke a cold truth about American education: 'Our school's vibrant, racially diverse students have sharply unequal learning experiences and opportunities. It's racism pure and simple, and it's going to stop.'
Beautiful Struggle is the story of how this school took on systemic racism and achieved a remarkable degree of sustained success."
