Delray Beach, Florida, is a part of Palm Beach County where the hired help live, the housekeepers, the drivers and the maintenance men to the more moneyed people in a well-heeled part of the state. If you are a child of the well-to-do there, you are likely to go to a pretty good school--maybe a private school, but a good school.

If you are a black child in Delray Beach, it is fair to say the education system, by and large, has failed you. The moneyed kids are getting the kind of education that prepares them for a life in the 21st century. The less well-to-do were being prepared for lives much like those their parents live, not much opportunity and not much hope.

That is not an unfamiliar story, and it is but a small part of this one because in Delray Beach on this day, for the first time in a generation there is some excitement about education. There is a new school, a new attitude and new money. There are also questions that may not be apparent at first glance, but have to be addressed if the Delray Beach experiment somehow catches on. And they are not comfortable questions - issues of race and race relations rarely are.

''Nightline'' talks with Jonathan Kozol, long-time social activist and author of several award winning books, which focus on the plight if disadvantaged children.
