Martin strapped her daughter, Maya, to her chest for long walks, she was curious about Emerson Elementary, a public school down the street from her Oakland home. She learned that White families in their gentrifying neighborhood largely avoided the majority-Black, poorly-rated school. As she began asking why, a journey of a thousand moral miles began. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eLearning in Public\u003c\/i\u003e is the story, not just Courtney's journey, but a whole country's.
