Chana has traced the history of the school from its founding and come to the present. But now: One unexpected last chapter. Last year, the school district for BHS mandated a change in the zoning process to ensure all of middle schools will be racially integrated.

Chana asks: How did this happen? And is this a blueprint for real, systemic change?
