Johnson signed the Elementary and Secondary Education Act [ESEA] into law in 1965, one of the biggest education challenges facing the nation was the difference in the quality of education provided to children from white households and those from nonwhite households. Today, the racial gap persists. How much of the gap is due to schooling, as opposed to home life and opportunities outside of school, is a topic of ongoing research. What seems clear is that some children have access to more and better academic experiences than others and that these differences correlate strongly with race and class."}
