Black Children having less access to education
Chris Rock on having to be bussed to school in a white neighborhood (First 1:30 seconds, NSFW)(https://youtu.be/sG5Kjsz_Y2E)
"Black kids are four times more likely to attend high poverty schools than a low poverty school, and over six times more likely than white students to attend a high poverty school"
Like Chris Rock explains in his routine, black children and black families are more likely to live in impoverished neighborhoods.

An unfortunate cycle
When non-white students are put in these unfortunate situations, of living in poverty, they are more commonly sent to schools that provide them with a worse education. This is because those children are sent to the schools that their neighborhood is zoned in. Another problem is that these schools have less money, due to a large majority of the schools cash needing to come from taxation of the districts residents. These residents are likely living in poverty if they are living in these districs, and therefore the school receives less funding from parents with less income.

In 1954, the Supreme Court voted to end segregation of schools. However, this did not lead to schools becoming completely equal.
According to an article from USA Today, segregation in schools is still getting worse. Even though it is not enforced by law, it is still happening
Much of the segregation of schools was often a result of segregated housing. Due to segregated housing, schools zoned in certain housing districts meant for non-white citizens often provided a much worse education.
Although segregation of housing and schools was eventually ruled unconstitutional, this type of housing is still unfortunately a part of our society.
Many black or non-white folks are not provided with equal opportunities in school due to a lack of education as described in the top branch.
This can be a result of black people living in poverty due to, lack of job opportunity because of race, a lack of opportunity of jobs because of a worse education, along with many other variables.
