In an event at the University of Connecticut in West Hartford, Connecticut, education reporter Susan Eaton discusses the four years she spent at nearby Simpson-Waverly Elementary School, an all-minority school in a low-income Hartford neighborhood. In her book, "The Children in Room E4," she sites Simpson-Waverly as evidence of what she describes as America’s de facto school segregation policies.

Susan Eaton has contributed to the Nation, the Hartford Courant, and the Boston Globe Sunday Magazine. She is the former assistant director of the project on school desegregation at Harvard University.
