| Abstract | Susan Miller Dorsey High School in Los Angeles is at a crossroads. The school serves a community that, for decades, has been hailed as one of the largest historically black enclaves in the city. However, as migration throughout Los Angeles continues, what was once a predominately African-American community is almost equally Latino. This dramatic shift is mirrored at Dorsey, which some students and faculty call a segregated campus. However, there are others who believe the school has the potential to overcome stereotypes of so-called black/brown tension in Los Angeles. Dorsey’s faculty is working to create cohesion on campus and effectively serve the ever-changing community that it serves. |
