The Children in Room E4 provides interwoven narratives of the lives and educations of students in Room E4 of Simpson-Waverly Elementary School in Hartford, Connecticut and of a successful landmark civil rights case, Sheff v. O'Neill, that argued that Latino and black children were being denied an equal education because of the segregation of the state's public schools.[5]
