Abstract: A Report from the NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund about racial gaps in educational opportunity and achievement. The report explores the gap between the rhetoric of anti-affirmative action groups on the one hand and the law as stated by the Supreme Court on the other, as well as the gap between the federal government's professed concern for closing the racial achievement gap on the one hand and its decision to limit the options of institutions trying to do so on the other. The report argues that until these two gaps are closed, the U.S. will have a difficult time successfully tackling the more difficult and complex problem of closing the gap between the lived realities of blacks and whites.
