Episode description: Participants of a social experiment during the height of the civil rights struggle reunite. "The Reunion--Shaker Heights," examines the lasting effects of school integration during the civil rights struggle in the 1960s by doing something that has never been done before, gathering together the first wave of students who went through it themselves in Shaker Heights, Ohio. These students were at the center of the storm when their parents, at the height of the civil rights movement, carried out a bold and controversial social experiment in one of America's wealthiest suburbs. Now these 1960 kindergarten classmates reunite to see where the years and education have taken them from their then-new frontier, the American suburbs. Reported by ABC's Cynthia McFadden and Robin Roberts, the unconventional hour also stretches across the generations for a timely look at high school students in the same school system today and how they still deal with integration.
