Discrimination in Rapid City Public Schools and the Fight for Equal Educational Opportunities1971-01-01unknownhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/enghttp://congressarchives.org/record/CAC_CC_026_1_235_15_091A letter from U.S. Senator Fred R. Harris acknowledges receipt of a fact sheet about discrimination against Indians in Rapid City public schools and promises to take action. The fact sheet highlights the lack of transportation services for Indian students living in low-income areas, citing safety concerns and disparities in funding allocation. The letter argues that the school district's refusal to provide transportation services is unjust and discriminatory, particularly towards economically disadvantaged Indian families. It also questions the district's handling of Title I funds meant for culturally deprived students.
