On August 28, 2013, nearly 50 years after the 1963 Freedom Day, activists from several Chicago community groups called for a one-day boycott of Chicago Public Schools. Their action came in response to the Chicago Board of Education’s decision to close 49 elementary schools and a high school program. Activists held a demonstration in front of the Chicago School Board’s downtown office, followed by a march to City Hall. Citing discriminatory practices and unequal distribution of resources to neighborhoods of predominately working class African-American and Latino residents, demonstrators called for a publicly elected school board.
