Talk of the Nation, September 25, 2007 · Fifty years ago today, nine black students attended their first full day of classes at the previously all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Ark.

Guests and callers discuss the racial separation that persists in neighborhoods, schools, and places of worship.
Guests:
Matthew Lassiter, associate professor of history at the University of Michigan; author of The Silent Majority: Suburban Politics in the Sunbelt South
Emily Bernard, assistant professor of English and ethnic studies at the University of Vermont; editor of Some of My Best Friends: Writers on Interracial Friendship
