Looks at the changes that have occurred since Connecticut's schools first began to be integrated in the late 1960's and the effects integration has had on the quality of education received by Connecticut's students. The case of Brown vs. the Board of Education is discussed along with the problems school boards are facing in interpreting the Court's ruling in the case. Several local school systems are looked at to see how integration has affected them and whether integration has succeeded or not. Busing for desegregation and alternatives to busing are also discussed, including a discussion on merging urban and suburban school systems to achieve a more equally balanced racial mix. Includes interviews with Mark Shedd, James Thomas, J. Michael Smith, Barbara Johns Powell, Dr. Edyth Gaines, Hernan LaFontaine, Gov. Ella Grusso, Joyce Sheets, Glen Blouin, William Paradis, Arthur Hottin, Dee Dee Czelazewicz, Joseph Prewitt, Edna Negron Smith, Willie Fleeting, Terry Rogers, Frank Hickman, Leo Colbert, Jim Booth, James Curiale, Irene Stone, Dorothy Rombilus, James Cunningham, Ed Poltruck, Charles O'Hara, Jack Giordano, and Dr. James Barnes.
