La educación es un instrumento importante para la búsqueda del sueño americano, relacionado con la movilidad social y económica ascendente en los Estados Unidos; durante más de cien años, inmigrantes y sus familias se han mudado al Bronx para lograrlo, aprovechando la enseñanza gratuita que implica el sistema de escuelas públicas, desde la llegada de inmigrantes procedentes del sur europeo, y de Europa del Este, de finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX, hasta la actual presencia de inmigrantes latinoamericanos, caribeños y africanos. Este artículo emplea entrevistas, historia oral, del Bronx Jewish History Project, para establecer el estado de la educación en el Bronx, desde mediados del siglo XX, hasta hoy. Al hacerlo, concluye que los recursos públicos necesitan reasignarse a la formación docente y a programas de mejora de la educación, con el objetivo de superar el aumento de la segregación, y otorgar a las nuevas generaciones de inmigrantes las oportunidades necesarias para perseguir el sueño americano en el siglo XXI.
