Michigan Schools, Most Segregated in America

Updated: Mon 4:00 PM, May 02, 2005

According to a recent study by Harvard University, Michigan schools are the most segregated in America.

In a report timed to coincide with Martin Luther King Jr. Day, researchers say more than 70 percent of black and Hispanic children attend predominantly minority schools. They say Michigan schools are the most segregated followed by New York, Illinois and New Jersey.

The study says King's dream of integration is honored in theory but dishonored in practice.
