ABSTRACT
For the “millennium” issue of Sociology of Education, I had the opportunity to offer a forecast for the future of US educational inequality during the twenty-first century (Gamoran, 2001). After reviewing past trends and available evidence about the causes of educational inequality, I reached two conclusions: First, I predicted that the next hundred years would witness a substantial decline in racial inequality in educational outcomes. Second, I argued that social class inequality would persist through the next century at about the same level as it had in the previous.
