desegregation busing

Desegregation busing was a policy used in the United States to promote racial integration in public schools. After court rulings highlighted racial segregation, busing was implemented to transport students from neighborhoods with mostly one race to schools in different areas, aiming to create racially balanced classrooms. The goal was to combat inequality and ensure equal educational opportunities regardless of one’s race. While it faced opposition and controversy, desegregation busing was an important step toward promoting racial integration and reducing the effects of segregation in education.
