So a mother decides she wants her children to have a better education than her district would provide her girls with, and fibs about her residence so they can attend a better school.

'Williams-Bolar is black and poor. Plenty of observers in Akron, in Ohio and around the nation have called this further fallout of a history of racism in general and racial apartheid in American schools.
