Keep going! How did there come to be schools that were predominantly black? Why is school funding tied to property taxes? Why isn't there a level of mobility that would allow students to go to a more well funded school? Who made these policies and why?

The residents in their area are mostly black.

That's how most of your city is funded.

There is? Like, you can move to a different school district but it's going to be more expensive. Nobody is preventing you.
> Who made these policies and why?
It's not clear what policies you are referring to. That we fund things via property taxes?
